North Carolina was arguably the most aggressive gerrymandering in the entire country and the Republicans just did not even win the one seat that they targeted. What happened? The whole damn delegation flipped.
Literally, Democrats now have more seats in the Congressional delegation in North Carolina than the Republicans do. That is absolutely crazy. This is not just a minor failure of gerrymandering, it is an epic failure. This will be studied in the annals of history books as one of the most incompetent efforts to gerrymander where you control everything. The Republicans in North Carolina did control everything but the Democrats did a complete takeover, and now the Republicans have nothing in that state.
The only place they may win where they gerrymandered is Tennessee and they have a very slight chance of winning.
Even Alabama where they gerrymandered, Shamari, a Democrat won that election. He’s coming back.
They failed in the state of Texas and they failed in the state of Florida. Ron DeSantis was crapping all over MAGA. But in Florida, the Republicans did keep hold of a Senate seat by an incumbent with a money advantage.
Republicans need to make a new strategy in the future. Gerrymandering just did not work out. Maybe if they finally decide to govern and the people see that they are doing their jobs, then maybe in the future the Republicans will be respected and supported by Republicans.
