The fundamentals of the 2024 campaign are still taking shape, but one thing is already clear: A flurry of #court actions might cost #Republicans the #House majority.
In the past 9 days, #state & #federal judges threw out 2 #CongressionalMaps — & helped #Democrats avoid a worst-case scenario in Ohio — kicking off an unusually busy #redistricting calendar heading into the #election year.

All told, a dozen or more seats across at least 6 states could be redrawn, increasing the likelihood #Democrats could chip away the 5-seat #GOP #House majority through #redistricting alone.
Democrats could pick up an extra seat in each of a handful of states, including #Florida, #Alabama & #Louisiana, & perhaps several more in #NewYork. #Republicans could still pick up as many as 4 seats in #NorthCarolina, but the recent rulings put Democrats in a position to offset those losses — & then some.
#Redistricting could not only give #Democrats a slight edge in their bid to reclaim the majority they lost in 2022 but also increase the number of #Black members in their conference. Prospective Democratic candidates in several key states are already eagerly eyeing a rare chance to run for a #federal office, & the party is brimming w/hope about growing its footprint in the South.
