Sure. I don't know that the structures have anything to do with whether or not Democrats can take back the House in 2026. I think that maybe a little bit of the issue Democrats have had certainly has been redistricting and gerrymandering where the country sort of tips a little bit more toward Republicans because of how gerrymandered so many Republican seats are.
