That is freezing some Republican blood today.

If you were...

Starting with a 2020 Trump map, not to repeat myself too much, and you look at that and say, well, roll it back to maybe 2020 Trump margins with non-white voters, with young voters.

Well, that's not the same map anymore.

There's a bunch of people who are not in Trump seats.

They're in Biden seats.

How does that change your math?

And how does that change Democrats' math?

Let's say Louise Lucas, actually, she's the Senate leader in Virginia who is the most aggressive about remapping.

Since she is not going to be shy.

Yeah, she's she's Uma Thurman in Kill Bill.

She's coming back with a katana for these.

She probably would knowing Louise Lucas if she gave her a good katana gift, she would use it.

She's kind of infamous for when when Youngkin sends a bill to the Senate, she doesn't like she'll post a picture of her with a shredder.

But anyway, yeah, that's her attitude.

So it spilled over into Maryland, where there is a very fun story happening right now where Wes Moore, who I assume will run for president after saying he won't, does want to talk about redistricting Maryland.

And the state Senate president is still on the Michelle Obama convention speech island of like, we're not.

that's not what our party stands for i think that you can see it quickening the democrats there and saying what if we do this and you if you look if you're lucas looking at virginia like we were saying before well it's one thing if if we're remapping the state for seats that can elect 10 democrats in a trump map in this map much easier and you probably want to be cocky but you're looking at and say okay we can you give eugene vim and a couple points so tara durant can't really challenge him anymore this already happened ohio by the way there was a

Republican who was going to challenge Amelia Sykes in Akron again.

And then Republicans kind of conceded a map that gave her a couple points and made it.
