"Democrats were undoubtedly expecting a bad outcome... But the release today of proposed map CBP-5, even by NC’s brass knuckled redistricting standards, is a particularly savage assault on Democratic electoral prospects for the remainder of this decade." #ncga #ncpol

DeSantis leads Trump in most parts of Virginia in the multi-candidates race and in all parts of the state in a head-to-head race. #vapol #vagov
