New from me @TheSpectator:

I gave everyone anonymity to take a closer look at what happened last week...and how we finally got to the long-awaited @SpeakerMcCarthy!

@SpeakerMcCarthy

And then there was Kevin.

In the wake of a forecasted red wave that never materialized, now-@SpeakerMcCarthy plotted with friends and foes alike to secure the magical 218 votes necessary to take the helm of a rowdy, openly feuding House GOP.

@TheSpectator

After fifteen rounds of voting, Republicans eventually united behind him. Key players in the machinations spoke with @TheSpectator about the breakdown in the negotiations that had started in earnest after November’s elections.

2022 #Midterms Simulation: #ArtoftheGerrymander

A Republican House win will be built on gerrymanders (TX/GA/FL/TN/LA, etc.)

To illustrate the need for fair maps, I'm calculating the results using the 2022 votes, but if every state had a Democratic gerrymander. #ElectionTwitter

@davesredist

Methodology:

I’ll apply the difference in Presidential margin to the House result. Thanks @davesredist @mikemathieu @vest_team + @DKElections @PoliticsWolf

Keen to see how my maps perform over the decade; tried to comply with state law if partisan intent were allowed to stand.

#ArtoftheGerrymander: #Alabama
Trump 62.0% - Biden 36.6%
Real delegation: 6R-1D
Gerrymandered: 5R-2D
Δ Share of D seats: 14% => 28%
Easy Democratic pick-up of a safe new African American seat.

This is a spreadsheet of Cook Report races which I made based on currently reported results (9am Wed).

+1= Dem Victory
-1=GOP Victory
+0.5= Dem winning
-0.5 = GOP winning

Based on this, right now, I think the Dems hold onto the US House.

#Election2022

Note especially: 3 (of 10 total) GOP "Toss up" seats have already been called for Democratic Victory.
#NC13 #OH01 #TX34.

On the Dem "Toss up" side, there's #VA02 which flipped Red. But that's it.

In summary, of currently held Dem seats, only 1 flipped Dem-> GOP (#VA02), with 6 races leaning GOP.

On the other hand, of current GOP seats, 4 have flipped GOP->Dem (#MT01, #NC13, #OH01, #TX34) and 7 lean Democrats.

I think the Democrats will win the US House.

Sooooo the #MDprimary is (sort of) over, so here's a thread of noteworthy or fascinating results. Buckle up, friends. (1/X)

On the Republican side, far-right Del. Dan Cox has won the #MDgov nomination to pilot the Hindenburg in November. The Democratic race is too close to call between Wes Moore and Tom Perez, so we'll likely have our first non-white governor.

State Del. Brooke Lierman and Rep. Anthony Brown win the Democratic primaries for Comptroller and State AG. They are both heavily favored against Harford Co. Exec. Barry Glassman (R) and Michael Peroutka, the latter of whom has, er, baggage.

All 6 Maryland House Democrats Reps. Ruppersberger, Sarbanes, Majority Leader Hoyer, Trone, Mfume and Raskin won their primaries tonight per AP. Harris, the only Republican in the MD Congressional delegation, ran unopposed.

2nd term #MD06 Rep David Trone won his Democratic primary & will face GOP primary winner MD state delegate Neil Parrott per AP in the fall election.Trone defeated Parrott 58.9%-39.2% in 2020 prior to redistricting.District now includes all of Frederick Co & less of Montgomery Co.

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, first elected to the House in 1981, won his #MD05 Democratic primary tonight and will face GOP primary winner Chris Palombi per AP for a second time in the general election. Hoyer defeated Palombi 68.9%-31.1% in 2020.

Maryland Senate voted 30-13 for revised congressional map that favors Democrats in 7 of 8 districts. The 1st District of Andy Harris would lean Republican.

Rep. David Trone's #MD06 would become less strongly Democratic but Rs objected it still links western MD to D-heavy Montgomery County near DC.

“This map, while prettier, is nothing more than lipstick on a pig,” state Sen. Michael Hough (R) said during today’s floor debate

Maryland House Rules Committee advanced the new congressional map.

Breaking: I've been informed that Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan's commission on redrawing the 6th Congressional District has chosen the map we submitted for its recommendation. I'll have more details soon, & you can read about our proposal here: dailykos.com/stories/2019/2… #MD06 #MDpol

https://twitter.com/PoliticsWolf/status/1101587225987375104

If this map were to become law, #MD06 would flip from a 55-40 Clinton district to a 52-43 Trump one to comply with the court's ruling. No districts other than #MD06 & #MD08 would be redrawn, since only #MD06 was struck down

https://twitter.com/PoliticsWolf/status/1101587225987375104

https://twitter.com/JessBravin/status/1101589622964932608

#MD08 would shift from to 65-31 Clinton to a very blue 78-18 Clinton. You can see our calculations for the proposed redrawn districts here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
And for the existing districts here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
