Excited to join @Morning_Joe in a few moments to discuss the new @CookPolitical Partisan Voting Index (PVI). But, viewer discretion: yesterday, my new car's wild rear power liftgate put a huge gash in my forehead, so I'm welcoming any last-minute makeup tips.

NEW @CookPolitical: 2026 mid-decade redistricting has yielded a House map that's more Republican and less elastic. We're out w/ our new PVI scores, and Dems now need to win 57 of 77 seats in the R+5 to D+5 range (74%) to win a House majority. www.cookpolitical.com/…
New @CookPolitical: Far-left candidates are winning Dem primaries, but not in most of the races that will decide the House majority. Analysis by @ercovey: www.cookpolitical.com/…

It would be disastrous for Dems to get locked out of a seat they redrew to be a safe pickup, #CA06. There’s still good reason believe Pan (D) will ultimately edge out Stansfield (R) for the second slot, but it’s the difference between a sure D pickup and an assured R hold.

Enormous setback for Dems as VA Supreme Court strikes down the referendum vote and therefore Dems’ 10D-1R gerrymander. Now best Dems can hope for is to pick up two seats under current map, not four.

“This violation irreparably undermines the integrity of the resulting referendum vote and renders it null and void. For this reason, the congressional district maps issued by this Court in 2021 pursuant to Article II, Section 6-A of the Constitution of Virginia remain the governing maps for the upcoming 2026 congressional elections.”

It's nearly impossible to disentangle race and partisanship in the South, which is why this ruling could have such apocalyptic consequences for Black representation across the Deep South (more likely in '28 than '26).
Zachary Donnini (@ZacharyDonnini)
Not a legal expert, but to my plain reading this is the passage in the ruling that seems most concerning for the future strength of Section 2, and likely why Elena Kagan was so alarmed in dissent. The key question going forward: can plaintiffs produce evidence for any current Black-majority Southern district showing that racially polarized voting exists in a way that cannot simply be explained by party affiliation?
