Don’t Expect Another Wave

Charlie Cook: “A little more than four months out from the election, the tides seem about as neutral as they can be. Both parties have surprisingly comparable levels of exposure, largely because of redistricting. The relatively calm surface of this year’s waters belies a lot of offsetting tumult and change underneath. But for House Republicans, who hold a 25-seat majority, a status quo election producing minimal net change would be good news.”

“Republicans would need to mess up pretty badly to lose their House majority in the near future.”
