Republicans Advantage in House Fading

The Morning analyzes how redistricting for Congress is shaping up after the rounds of litigation. Its conclusion: The Republican Party’s advantage is fading.

“If everything goes Democrats’ way, roughly 10 House seats could become meaningfully easier to win. Next year, the party needs to net only five seats to reclaim the House. New York alone could switch six seats from leaning Republican to leaning Democrat. . . .

Even if litigation results are more mixed, David Wasserman of the Cook Political Report says that the redistricting process will leave each party with a similar shot at securing the Speakership. That of course does not mean that most districts will be competitive.
