The 2026 House Map is No More Favorable to Republicans than the 2018 Map was By Kyle Kondik

KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE

— Republicans made the House map better for themselves compared to the 2024 map by winning this cycle’s expansive redistricting fight.

— However, comparing this year’s map to the district lines in place in 2018—the last midterm held under President Trump—puts the 2026 House map in a different light.

— By a number of metrics, the 2026 House map is no more favorable to Republicans than the 2018 map, and it may actually be a little less favorable.

— The median House district by presidential performance is less Republican, the number of districts that voted to the right of the nation for president is smaller, and the number of plausible Democratic House targets based on history is comparable.
