Redistricting gives House GOP a built-in edge to win House majority in 2022

The Republican Party is poised to win the House majority in 2022, boosted by the rare combination of President Trump’s ouster and down-ballot victories that put the GOP in command of the decennial redrawing of district boundaries.

House Republicans flipped nearly a dozen Democratic-held seats in the Nov. 3 elections, a surprising gain that left them a handful shy of the majority. With such a thin margin, there is loose speculation redistricting could effectively deliver Republicans the speaker’s gavel before a single Democratic incumbent is defeated. The GOP preserved control of key state legislatures and governor’s mansions, a crucial advantage in the partisan battle over reapportionment.

Trump’s defeat was another stroke of good fortune for House Republicans. Historically, the party that holds the White House loses seats in midterm elections. That has held true for Democratic and Republican presidents going back to Ronald Reagan’s first midterm in 1982, with the exception of 1998 and 2002. President-elect Joe Biden presents an immediate challenge for House Democrats heading into the 2022 midterm elections.

“We start in a great position,” said Dan Conston, who runs the Congressional Leadership Fund, the super PAC affiliated with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California. “But the last thing Republicans should be doing is measuring the drapes.”

Do you think you will have a chance in 2022 if this election stands. The DEMS will win by 50+ seats in 2022.

No, the democrats will lose the house.  The combo of a d president and the huge advantage in redistricting all but ensures it.  Don't be an irrational doom and gloomer

I read the headline and admittedly don't read past the headline.  IMHO by 2022  -- It WILL be too dang late!!

There may be a specific reason why the elites are saying the plandemic will be with us until 2022.

This is old-fashioned thinking.  R's may control a majority of State Legislatures, but many States have rigged "Redistricting Commissions."  The Rats have been cheating them by having Dem-favoring Commissioners declare they are "Independents" and creating working Rat majorities.  They did this in AZ in 2010, and we got screwed.

And the states that don't have "Commissions" to draw the District borders will find sympathetic Federal Judges to step in and redraw the boundaries, all on their lonesome, however they like.  SCOTUS has already said they will not intervene because it's "political."

BOHICA, MFers.

Fresh from their victory in 2020, I fully expect the democrat-communists (and CCP that assists them) to turn their underground election apparatus towards winning the necessary House races to retain power in 2022.

Remember, the days of "they can't cheat if it's not close" are over.
Now, it's become "show me the election, and I'll show you the victor."
