Desperate not to lose the House in the midterms, the president sought to rig the game. He pressured legislatures in red states to create new Republican-leaning districts, and lawmakers duly redrew their maps. That weakened some safe red seats, but the GOP assumed that it would hurt Democrats more. Last Tuesday's results demonstrate the folly of Trump's gamble.
A new poll in the New York City mayoral race just landed. This is the first poll focused exclusively on New York City Latino voters in this electoral cycle, and will likely be the only one: few polls are ever taken to take the pulse of the issues important to Latino voters and the candidates they prefer. The Hispanic Federation, which commissioned this poll, must be commended for this admirable and needed work.
