The one thing I'm interested in that I think people haven't talked about much, I have no idea if the numbers are big enough to make this happen.
I mean, I do think
I mean, black voters are literally going to lose.
There's not going to be a black congressman, it looks like, if they succeed in their redistricting plans, from Louisiana, from Alabama, maybe from Mississippi, or I can't, I'm not even sure about that.
Black voters, but also other voters who think, really?
I mean, that's now we're now just like basically let's have lily white congressional delegations from southern states that have 25, 30 percent black population.
We're not talking about lily white congressional delegations from Utah, you know.
So I wonder if it does if blacks go out to vote more.
A, to try to save one or two of those seats, and B, at least they can vote in the Senate race.
I actually wonder, someone, I haven't looked at this closely enough to have an intelligent opinion about it, but Mississippi already, people were talking, Lauren wrote about this for us, was sort of thought to be in play.
Alabama, there's a good candidate on the Democratic side who's a former and ever Trump Republican, a Republican voter against Trump.
I know slightly from that world.
I don't know quite Louisiana.
I defer to you on that, but there's a messy- Louisiana's not happening.
So I just think Black turnout could go up in these states and maybe tip one of them into the column.
And then the farm economy, I do think in Kansas and Iowa, where there are good Democratic candidates, they're
primaries in both cases, but I think whoever would win would be good, actually.
At least would be more interesting and more plausible than a typical Democrat in those states.
I think they're in play.
So I do think the map has widened a lot on the Senate.
