it will not be anywhere near enough, since even without Virginia, the Democrats have countered. The polls were based on how those districts voted for Trump in 2024, and my guess is at least half of them won't vote that way in the midterm. Even dividing up the district in Tennessee, which is just one seat, they've diluted the GOP vote to less than +8 in at least two others, and that was 2024.

We will have a net gain of 35 seats, and that's a conservative estimate.
