Trump-backed redistricting sought a midterm edge for Republicans. It didn't work

Republicans lost most of the Democratic-held seats they had targeted to flip, lost others they had banked on retaining and got swept out of power by a Democratic surge fueled by voter dissatisfaction with Trump, the economy and the war with Iran.

特朗普推动共和党在八个州提前重划国会选区，试图在中期选举中扩大优势，但目标选区大多被民主党守住甚至翻盘。报道认为，选民态度快速变化，使按旧选举数据设计的"安全选区"失效。
