1 day agoTakeaways from the latest special election and what it means for control of the House
Democrats are overperforming 2024 results by about 14 points on average, threatening GOP House control in 2026.
Today's Supreme Court decision is not the end of this fight. Although the Court denied our petition, it did not explain the reason for its ruling. This means Governor Newsom and the Democrats' plan to gut the voter-created Citizens Redistricting Commission, silence public input, and stick taxpayers with a $200+ million bill will proceed. Polls show most Democrats, Republicans, and independents want to keep the commission, not give politicians the power to rig maps.
