Cook Political Report analyst Erin Covey says Democrats are positioned to gain House seats this November despite Republican efforts to redraw congressional districts in their favor.

Covey is watching House races in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas, and Senate contests in Alaska, Iowa, Ohio and Texas. The analysis notes the historical pattern that the party out of power typically gains ground in midterms.
