Boyle said Democratic House pickups will be “nowhere near” 2018’s 40-seat gain b/c redistricting shrank competitive districts and Ds now control 215 seats vs just 194 seats in 2018

Very sad to hear of the passing of Republican pollster Glen Bolger. During my journalism career, Glen was always generous with his time and insights (and our shared complaints in recent years about the N.Y. Giants). My condolences to his family & friends. https://t.co/tVbvq58rOp
