After the Democrats swept multiple elections last night, the election analysis outlet "Sabato's Crystal Ball" adjusted several House race ratings, reflecting California's redistricting proposal and progress in state legislatures. The latest forecast shows that both the Democratic and Republican parties currently have 209 "safe, likely, or leaning" seats, with an additional 17 districts still considered swing. Analysts noted that the high turnout of Latino voters last night may indicate their influence in the new districting. According to Amy Walter, editor of "The Cook Political Report," the Republicans may struggle to flip the newly drawn districts in South Texas if they rely on Trump's performance among Latino voters in 2024. Meanwhile, a special election in Houston, Texas, for the late Democratic Representative Sylvester Turner will go to a runoff, with candidates being attorney Christian Menefee and former city council member Amanda Edwards, meaning this long-time Democratic district will continue to "remain blue."
