There will be a slight but established Republican tilt to the maps heading into November.
And that's in part due to the decision today.
And it's also in part due to just the now nearly year long attempt to draw new maps in states across the country.
But it's certainly not the multi-seat cushion in the double digits that President Trump and his advisors had envisioned when they started this fight in Texas last year.
Yes, exactly.
So for the immediate, for the 2026 midterms, Democrats have played their hand.
They've redrawn in Virginia and in California, and they got a boost by courts in Utah.
But I think the clearest political outcome of today's decision is that these redistricting wars that started in the middle of the decade, which is very rare, are going to spiral into 2028, and they're going to expand.
Already, Democrats in New York and Colorado have begun to explore the process of redrawing their maps ahead of 2028.
And today, Governor Hochul indicated, I'm going to continue on that.
Other states like Illinois and Maryland, Democrats have complete control over the map drawing process.
They've already drawn pretty aggressive gerrymanders.
But given today's ruling and the aggressively hyper-partisan nature of these battles over maps, they could go even further.
Maryland Democrats could try again to eliminate the final Republican seat in that state.
And Democrats in Illinois could effectively split apart or spread across Chicago voters and eliminate every Republican in that state.
Now, that would be a pretty wacky looking map with a lot of spaghetti strings, but it's in the realm of possibility.
And today, Governor Pritzker indicated that he might entertain this.
And he simply said, we have options.
Yeah, we could see a place where everyone rushes to the extreme.
I mean, I think we can look at what's already been done, right?
