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.

特朗普推動共和黨在八個州提前重划國會選區，試圖在中期選舉中擴大優勢，但目標選區大多被民主黨守住甚至翻盤。報道認為，選民態度快速變化，使按舊選舉數據設計的"安全選區"失效。
