The Cook Political Reportโs Dave Wasserman, who meticulously follows congressional redistricting, says the process is shaping up to create more districts that Joe Biden carried in 2020:
In 2020, Biden won 51.3 percent of the national popular vote, and 224 โBiden districtsโ account for 51.5 percent of all U.S. House districts. If there are 227 โBiden districtsโ in 2022, that would account for 52.2 percent of all U.S. House districts.
Even if redistricting results in a few more โBiden districts,โ the presidentโs low approval rating at the present time indicates Republicans are still favored to take control of the House in 2022.
Correction (January 5, 2022): This post has been updated to correct the number of โBiden districtsโ there will likely be in November 2022.
