Before Dems get carried away celebrating the Missouri redistricting ruling, important to keep in mind SCOTUS/state courts would likely need to greenlight an entirely new election calendar w/ 60 days left before 11/3. No guarantees here. 113.8K views · 439 likes · 28 reposts · 32 replies Open on X →

If Missouri does have to use the 6-2 map, that’s fundamentally incompatible with the primaries, which were conducted under the 7-1 map. Easiest solution would probably be to hold jungle primaries on Nov. 3, with runoffs at a later date. Parties could also just appoint nominees. 175.8K views · 430 likes · 37 reposts · 14 replies Open on X →

Excited to join @Morning_Joe in a few moments to discuss the new @CookPolitical Partisan Voting Index (PVI). But, viewer discretion: yesterday, my new car's wild rear power liftgate put a huge gash in my forehead, so I'm welcoming any last-minute makeup tips. 77.3K views · 107 likes · 43 reposts · 16 replies Open on X →

NEW @CookPolitical: 2026 mid-decade redistricting has yielded a House map that's more Republican and less elastic. We're out w/ our new PVI scores, and Dems now need to win 57 of 77 seats in the R+5 to D+5 range (74%) to win a House majority. https://t.co/DEZQLimSBL https://t.co/ 456.1K views · 1.1K likes · 392 reposts · 59 replies Open on X →
