The Supreme Court has allowed partisan gerrymandering to shield redistricting maps from legal challenges, a decision that is expected to further reduce the number of competitive House districts.

Consequently, fewer House races are anticipated to be competitive in the upcoming midterms, with a significant decrease in "Toss Up" designations compared to previous election cycles. AI
