The 43 seats Dems flipped are on average more GOP leaning than the country.
By contrast, the remaining 192 seats are *way* more Dem leaning.
I talked to @Redistrict, who did a deep dive:

The seats held by "the Squad" are +29, +14, +32, and +26 more Dem leaning than the country overall.
Those are *very* Dem leaning!
By contrast, these moderates are in seats that are +3, +4, +5, +6 more Republican.

By contrast, the remaining 192 Dem seats are on average +16, per @Redistrict's calculations.
That's a huge disparity!

A really interesting interview with @Redistrict on all these matters:

This ensures that the seats that push Dems into the majority are more GOP-leaning. A problem!
