The Ds are doing their best to lose this midterm because of some really bad news due to last year's tax bill.
How bad is that news?
The left coast, CA in particular, is on track to have its worst fire season, possibly, ever. (arson is suspected in most fires but that is usually true.) Junkies and career criminals are pouring in to the left coast to provide extra oomf to this normal cycle
The real estate market is awful and getting worse in most of the northeast.
So, the Ds would be happy to see the coming collapse of jobs and aftertax income in their usual strongholds to happen under a Republican state regime but with gerrymandering that isn't going to happen because they have waited too long in the election cycle to make it possible to tag Rs with the coming mess
So the 2020 election cycle is when the Rs Greens and socialists will make gains in the current Blue wall and reapportionment will shrink the number of house seats.
The Ds will have serious problems getting a survivable gerrymander and I have no idea how that will work out. That is why I say 2022 will be a strange election year. What do you expect to see happen?
