What if @mehdirhasan told you that the GOP had won the fight for the House before a single vote was cast — that a Republican majority in the chamber was practically preordained? All due, Mehdi says, to the power of gerrymandering.

While democracy won on the midterm ballot and many election deniers lost their races, Dems may still lose House control due to GOP gerrymandering.

If Republicans win a slim House majority after all midterm ballots are counted, is it safe to say gerrymandering got them that majority? “Of course,” @mjs_DC says. “It’s demonstrably true.”

"Calling out Republican extremism - on voting rights, on abortion rights worked," @mehdirhasan says in Sunday's monologue about "astonishingly good" midterm election results that've been "better than almost anyone imagined." But will Democratic leaders remember that clear lesson?

Ron DeSantis won by 19 points this week. That's big, especially considering he's dedicated his time as Governor to demonizing queer kids and lobbing Venezuelan migrants across the country. However, as @mehdirhasan notes, several purple state Democrats arguably outperformed him.

Twitter’s new checkmark policy has caused chaos, to put it mildly. @MehdiRHasan and @AymanM try to differentiate between truth and parody in tonight’s #handover.

.@MariaTeresa explains that she has never been worried about the Latino vote & Dems: “Latinos came out. We’re going to see when the dust settles. I’m waiting for these headlines from The NY Times that say the Latino vote is the one that won Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania.”

Will the GOP break with Donald Trump after the Party’s poor performance in the midterms?
@Timodc tells @MehdiRHasan it doesn’t matter. “Whoever replaces Trump will still be a MAGA candidate, just with a different figurehead.”

Americans are anxiously waiting to see which party will gain control of the House and Senate. But in the meantime, @mehdirhasan says, now's the perfect chance for Dems to do something that would give them extra seats in both chambers of Congress. WATCH:

Despite talk of a rightward shift in the Latino vote, Dem wins in Texas show that "Latinos, they’re not necessarily Democratic Party members, Republican Party members," @GregCasar says: "They are folks that want to see this democracy work for working people.”
