But in 2026, we just made it harder for Republicans to win because they'll be redistricting things.

Only the Justice Department can maybe block some of this redistricting with a win at the Supreme Court in the Louisiana case.

Republicans have to wake up tomorrow morning and say, we got to go back to the strategy of 2024.

We won with that and we fell asleep on it this year.

We didn't do any of the things that got us the win in 24.

That's the lesson of tonight.

It's not any more complex than that.

Oh, no, that's definitely the play.

Listen, we drew the first blood and we didn't have a plan after we drew Texas, which, by the way, Texas was kind of required by the court.

So it was a legitimate redistricting argument.

But the Democrats are going to squeeze this out here, I think, is the big key.

I think the 2026 election, Matt, will be made on the decisions or lack of decisions that Harmeet Dhillon made.

She is the chief of the Civil Rights Division and the chief enforcement officer for election law.

If she makes the proper arguments in these states where they're doing gerrymandering in retaliation, rather than to make sure there's appropriate apportionment, representation of people, she can win in the courts.

If she can strike at that, there's a difference between Texas and California.

California ballot

says what they're doing.

They're retributing against Texas.

That's not representing the interests of the people of California.

That's taking care of a political beast.
