Texas is redistricting.

California is redistricting.

Louisiana is redistricting.

Florida looks like it's going to be redistricting.

We are now in a full-on redistricting arms race.

And the Democrats, it looks like a kind of running out of weapons.

It's a bit like this whole thing of who's looking at who's got more munitions, because it feels to me that the Democrats in this arms race have an inherent disadvantage.

How much of a blow?

Because I was getting texts from Democrats on Fridays, literally, oh, fuck.

You know, oh, my God.

I can say that it's podcast like, oh, Christ, we can never come back from this.

And they were getting super depressed on Friday.

How much of a blow?

Because now I'm coming around to having had three days and maybe it's just looking at it differently.

How much of a blow do you think this is to Democrats in the midterms?

Yeah, which is never going to do by November, guys.

That's what a Democratic member of Congress told me, that actually it would give them two seats.

So they'll lose two seats, effectively.

Yeah, I think you're right.

I think Democrats were feeling really glum last Friday.
