                            August 1, 2025Heading Toward Midterm Elections, Democrats Not Up Off the Floor By Michael Barone
        Here's a clue that the off-year elections in November 2026 may not go the way conventional wisdom suggests. That conventional wisdom is that the president's party almost always loses the House and, slightly less often, Senate seats.

July 31, 2025Texas Republicans Aim for Five-Seat Gain in New Proposed Gerrymander By Kyle Kondik and J. Miles Coleman
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE— A much-anticipated draft of a new Republican gerrymander of Texas emerged Wednesday morning.
— The map is designed to allow Republicans to win five new seats in Texas, which would have the effect of pushing their edge in the state delegation from 25-13 at full strength to 30-8.
— Not all the newly-drawn seats are guaranteed Republican pickups, though.
— We offer tentative possible ratings of the new map’s 38 districts below, although without knowing if the map will be enacted under this form (or at all), we are not actually making any rating changes today.
