It Don’t Mean a Thing if it Ain’t Got That Swing: The Outlook for Electoral Accountability in 2026 By Alan I. Abramowitz
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE
— Midterm elections often act as a brake on presidential power, but extreme partisan polarization calls into question whether the 2026 midterm will serve its usual role.
— However, despite growing partisan polarization, large partisan swings in the House and Senate still appear to be possible.
— This is truer of the House than the Senate, though, as nationalization has helped Republicans realize an advantage on the overall Senate map.
— States with Senate seats up for election in 2026, in aggregate, vote several points to the right of the nation, so even a substantial Democratic lead in generic ballot polling would not necessarily translate to a Democratic Senate majority, even though it very likely would in the House.

Will Falling Birth Rates Mean a More Conservative World? By Michael Barone
George Orwell was on to it almost 80 years ago -- the problem of below-replacement level birth rates. In a short book written for the Britain in Pictures series in 1947, written just as Britain was emerging from wartime rigors into an uncharted postwar future, Orwell noted that despite an upward blip in birth rates during the war, "the general curve is downward. The position is not quite so dangerous as it is sometimes said to be, but can only be put right if the curve not only rises sharply but does so within ten or at most twenty years."

How Redistricting Scrambled the Crossover District List—and How It Could be Scrambled Even More By Kyle Kondik
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE
— In the 2024 election, just 16 congressional districts voted differently for president and for U.S. House. Democratic House candidates carried 13 Donald Trump-won districts, and Republican House candidates carried 3 Kamala Harris-won districts.
— Redistricting, however, has altered the picture and expanded the number of crossover districts. Based on the maps in place now, there are 24 crossover districts: 16 Trump-district Democrats and 8 Harris-district Republicans.
— Many of these newly-created seats are designed to flip to the party that won the district for president. If 2026 is like 2018, Democrats may have a more lopsided number of crossover districts than they did in 2024.
— Further redistricting moves in states like Florida, Maryland, New York, and Virginia could expand the number of crossover seats.

Crossing the Chesapeake Bay: Maryland Democrats’ Renewed 8-0 Proposal By J. Miles Coleman
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE
— Democrats in the Maryland House of Delegates recently passed a map recommended by Gov. Wes Moore’s (D) Redistricting Advisory Commission.
— The potential new map seriously imperils the delegation’s sole Republican, Rep. Andy Harris (R, MD-1), while firming up Democrats’ most marginal seat on the existing map, western Maryland’s MD-6.
— Despite the lower chamber’s vote, state Senate President Bill Ferguson (D) has emerged as a major opponent of mid-decade redistricting; he says he will not prioritize passing a new map.
— Even if the commission’s map passes the entire legislature, state courts could take steps to block its implementation, as was the case with a similar 8-0 proposal in 2022.
