Estimated Hispanic shift (NYT/Siena applied to districts) Texas 🔵 TX-28: +31 🔵 TX-15: +25 🔵 TX-34: +24 🔵 TX-23: +18 🔵 TX-35: +16 🔵 TX-09: +16 Florida 🔵 FL-26: +25 🔵 FL-28: +25 🔵 FL-27: +21 🔵 FL-22: +13 🔵 FL-12: +12 🔵 FL-07: +11 🔵 FL-14: +11 Nate Cohn (NYT): If the Hispanic shift holds, it would put in play more than a dozen Trump +10 districts — Texas and Florida become ground zero. nytimes.com/2026/09/22/upsho…

The post-Trump era is dawning
Brutal new poll for Republicans from @EchelonInsights: Only 34% of Rs consider themselves primarily a supporter of Trump, versus 56% who say they're a supporter of the GOP. That number has completely reversed compared to January 2025 (59% Trump, 36% GOP)
