A Perfect Storm for Political Extremism

“Redistricting and a flood of departing incumbents are paving the way for more extreme candidates in this year’s midterm elections,” Axios reports.

“At least 19 House districts in 12 states are primed to attract such candidates — hard partisans running in strongly partisan districts.”

“These 19 districts are open seats — with no incumbent running because of retirement, or the incumbent running for another office or district — and with PVI scores of at least +15R or +15D.”
