House Democrats could continue to see their thin majority continue to shrink in the future depending on the outcome of a case brought before the Supreme Court by the Trump administration. The administration is seeking to exclude illegal aliens from calculations that are used to allocate the number of House seats each state gets.
“Blue states losing even a handful of seats would make the House’s thin Democratic majority even more precarious,” The Washington Free Beacon reported. “Congressional analysts suggest Democrats will lose the House in 2022 on the basis of reapportionment alone, since red states with growing populations are expected to gain seats. But right-leaning states like Florida and Texas could each pick up one seat fewer as a result of the order, according to the Pew Research Center.”
