A must-read: The Long Red Thread: How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in US House Elections by Kyle Kondik.
Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball runs an excerpt: “The Republican Revolution of 1994 represents a transitional point between more than a half century of Democratic dominance in the House and a more recent period that does not qualify as Republican ‘dominance’ but is certainly more than just a slight political imbalance.”
“In the years since 1994, Republicans will have held the House majority for 20 of the 28 years between 1995 and 2023, and they appear to hold more advantages in the race for majority control of the U.S. House of Representatives than the Democrats.”
