## Resource

The latest news in the redistricting arms race between Republicans and Democrats saw voters narrowly approve a new map in Virginia that could advantage the Dems by up to four new seats. Although there’s an injunction on that election, if it is certified, that would bring the total number of states with new district maps heading into the midterms up to seven. But Republicans may have more cards to play with a several seat advantage possible in Trump’s home state of Florida. Stepping back, could the midterm results end up being a referendum on tactics rather than politics ? USA TODAY Chief Political Correspondent Phillip M. Bailey joins The Excerpt to share his insights.
