The red wave is coming...

A new report from a non-partisan handicapper Cook Political has now shifted the already huge GOP advantage even more towards the right.

From The Hill:

Nonpartisan election handicapper The Cook Political Report announced on Tuesday that it is slightly shifting its outlook of Republicans winning 10 to 20 seats to instead winning as many as 25 seats.

Dave Wasserman, U.S House editor for The Cook Political Report, said the election handicapper was changing the ratings of six House districts in Republicans' favor: Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.) from lean Democrat to toss-up, Rep. Jahana Hayes (D-Conn.) from lean Democrat to toss-up, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) from lean Democrat to toss-up, Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) from lean Democrat to toss-up and Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-Va.) from solid Democrat to likely Democrat.

A separate race in Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District, to fill the seat of outgoing Rep. Ron Kind (D), moved from lean Republican to likely Republican. Wasserman noted that all six House seats were won by President Biden in the last election.

There are districts that went against Trump that are almost certainly going to reject the Democrat Party and send Republicans to Washington DC.

And this is a conservative guess from Cook Political.

If they're saying 25 seats, I wouldn't put a 30-40 seat swing out of the question.
