The GOP's House control in 2024 could depend on a few crucial races and ongoing redistricting cases.

2022 saw Republicans take back the U.S. House in the first elections after the most recent census. They hold a slim nine-seat advantage. but ongoing court battles provide opportunities for Democrats as well as Republicans. Meanwhile, in New York,"Democrats are essentially trying to allow the Albany legislature, which has the Democratic supermajority, to try to draw a map that's highly advantageous for Democrats next year that could help Democrats win four or five additional seats in that state alone," says Wasserman.Florida could be fruitful for Democrats too. Last year, Republican lawmakers dismantled a majority-black district, and Democrats sued.
"It's almost like they went through the court order and created a checklist of what we can do wrong and did it," said AL State Rep. Chris England .
