A bit of interesting redistricting news today from Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman:
National update: on the current trajectory, there will actually be a few *more* Biden-won congressional districts after redistricting than there are now (224/435).

But … but … that’s not what we were told! We were told that Republicans would gerrymander themselves right into all the congressional districts and Democrats would be left with nothing but tiny scraps!
So, where does that leave all the libs who have been freaking out all this time? Well, it leaves them right in Thread King and Keeper of Receipts Drew Holden’s crosshairs.
Please to enjoy Holden’s latest masterpiece:

Ah, of course! How could we forget?
Actually, Holden did manage to find one journalist who wasn’t involved in the gerrymander freakout:
