1. I'm not sure it matters for THIS election

I think there’s just too much anti MAGA momentum for it to matter this year. Going forward though I am worried because I expect any red state to completely redraw Democrats out of representation except in blue wave type years. One thing it will do is by putting more blue voters in red districts it will make some races more competitive than they would’ve been so it could backfire on them this year.
