Midterm elections are typically a performance review on the sitting president and President Joe Biden’s job rating is negative and static. According to the latest FiveThirtyEight average,…
Alabama. Current breakdown: 6R, 1D. May 24 primary. July 26 runoff (if necessary).
5th District (Open; Mo Brooks, R, running for Senate). Trump 63%. The fundraising leaders in the race to replace Brooks are Madison County Commissioner Dale Strong ($1.1 million raised through May 4) and former Assistant Secretary…
Kansas. Current breakdown: 3R, 1D. June 1 filing deadline. Aug. 2 primary.
3rd District (Sharice Davids, D). Biden 51%. The Kansas Supreme Court reinstated the GOP-controlled legislature’s map after a lower court had rejected it as a partisan and racial gerrymander. That means Davids will go from running in…

Ohio’s redistricting process for the 2022 midterms appears to have ended as it began: messily.

For the third time in as many redistricting cycles, Connecticut’s Supreme Court had to step in to draw new congressional maps after both the state legislature and a backup commission failed to…
