There's a reason why the popular vote and electoral vote is different. When you gerrymander it makes it even worse. But thats the only way Republicans think they can win. Unfortunately for them they fried everything so bad just in one year that even the new maps wont save them.
Yeah, it just will mean less of a massacre. The Dems are running on the issue they should (finally!): this will be a referendum on Trump.
They just need to say: are you better off than you were at the end of 2024, or worse? And if it's worse, it's Trump's fault, AND the fault of his lapdog House enablers who have allowed him time and time again to ignore the Constitution and do stupid and illegal things. Vote Republican if you want more of the same shit.
It wasn't enough that Trump is a pedo, rapist, murderer, multiple felon, crook, con man, thief, and complete asshole whose brain is turning to cottage cheese. But he's fucked everybody over financially, and we know the American electorate never tolerates that.
