"Republicans hold only a narrow lead in the House of Representatives, 220 seats to Democrats' 213, and the sitting president's party tends to lose seats in midterm elections. That means that control of the House could come down to just a few races. Projections for the six states that have essentially locked in their efforts - Texas, California, Ohio, Missouri, North Carolina and Utah - show Republicans set to gain a net one to four seats in November."
"Democrat-led states are enacting their own redistricting in contrast to what the GOP is doing - and California did it successfully - but several Democratic leaders find their hands tied by independent redistricting commissions they had once championed. Here's where redistricting efforts stand in each state: Indiana Indiana became the first state to formally reject a redistricting bid, with the state Senate voting 31-19 against it. 21 Republicans voted against the proposal in a rare pushback against Trump from within his party."
Republicans hold a 220-213 lead in the U.S. House, and the president's party typically loses seats in midterm elections, making control potentially hinge on a few close races. Projections in six states—Texas, California, Ohio, Missouri, North Carolina and Utah—show Republicans poised to gain a net one to four seats in November, likely offsetting Democratic gains elsewhere. California and Utah were the only states among the six where Republicans were not favored in redistricting. Democrat-led states are pursuing their own maps, but independent redistricting commissions constrain some Democratic leaders. Indiana's Senate formally rejected a redistricting bid 31-19.
