Republican legislators failed to fortify their House majority by redrawing congressional districts—and now the question is whether the parties will escalate the gerrymandering wars or declare a truce, @russellberman and @maddiecarlisle2 report. theatlantic.com/politics/202…

In North Carolina, the GOP had a 10-4 edge in House seats & reached for 1 more. But they stretched too far: Dems nearly won every single House seat in NC. (They'll still flip several.) More on the GOP's gerrymandering faceplant, w/ @maddiecarlisle2: theatlantic.com/politics/202…

Hochul’s aides cautioned through the fall not to expect a landslide, but she could wind up beating Andrew Cuomo’s blowout win in 2018. I wrote about her improbable comeback last month: theatlantic.com/politics/202…

Susan Collins couldn't pull it off one more time. A defeat that Maine Republicans insisted was unfathomable had, by the end of a disastrous night for the GOP, become inevitable. My dispatch from a gloomy watch party in Bangor: theatlantic.com/politics/202…
