Republicans won the redistricting battle. Now voters will decide whether they win Congress

Republicans have won a partisan redistricting battle for Congress. The GOP could gain about 10 U.S. House seats in the upcoming November elections if the new voting districts perform as intended. The question is whether that will be enough for the GOP to maintain a majority in Congress. Democrats need only a few seats to take control. Political trends and historical patterns favor Democrats. President Trump's approval ratings are negative, and the incumbent's party has lost House seats in every midterm election over the past two decades.
