Keeping fingers crossed on California only ain't going to cut it.

Set me straight...are there just not enough D tri-fecta states to do this? Or have we played an honest game (using independent comissions and such) and we're going to get screwed?

I see no sense or urgency from national Dems on this.

So Democrats might be able to pick off two congressmen because the districts are not so heavily gerrymandered. We have out-performed in 99% of the special elections since Jan 2025.
