I doubt that there will be very many GOP members of Congress who will feel the pressure, though I saw one analysis that pointed to the results in Florida, and concluded that if they represented similar potential turnout and vote preferences down the road, there are over 40 Republicans in the House and 10 in the Senate who are in danger of losing their job in 2026, if those percentages hold. And that's measuring results against deep red counties. It could be worse.
