Democrats will still win in the most extremely Democratic districts, no matter what ratfuckery Republicans try.

For example, Trump has singled out Philadelphia as a city where Democrats "cheat". The primary Congressional District covering Philadelphia is PA-3. In 2024 Republicans didn't even run a candidate there.

A second Philadelphia District is PA-2. Brendan Boyle the Democrat won this district by 71.5% to 28.5% in 2024, a difference of over 116,000 votes. Republicans aren't winning that district no matter what they do.
