A midterm election handicapper upgraded Republicans’ chances of winning eleven House races Friday after major redistricting victories for President Trump.
The new race ratings released by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report pertain to congressional districts in Virginia, Tennessee and Florida.
Four districts in Virginia, where the state Supreme Court ruled on Friday against implementing a new Democrat-friendly congressional map, have been shifted from “solid,” “lean” or “likely” Democrat to “lean” or “solid” Republican or “toss up.”

The commonwealth’s 7th Congressional District, held by Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-Va.), has also been downgraded from solid to likely Democrat.
Florida and Tennessee both passed new congressional maps designed to make it easier for Republicans to win — prompting the ratings changes there.
