And the recent SCOTUS decision essentially outlawing majority-minority districts (which account for at least 69 House districts) makes even getting a majority in the House voting against him difficult and keeping that majority in 2028 even more problematic.

‘26 district map shift/impact unknown at this time…
“I don’t think it’s going to be a huge change for most districts in 2026,” says Justin Levitt, a former Justice Department civil rights official during the Obama administration. In addition to the legal legwork, state legislators could face resistance from incumbents in their own party who are already campaigning in their current districts. “There are legal and political reasons to think that the 2026 cycle is more or less locked in,” says Professor Levitt, who now teaches law at Loyola Marymount University in California.

They are in disarray, if you follow such things. If they want to ride the pendulum they need to coalesce around something other than Trump, like policies. That don't involve dying on 80/20 hills.

If either executive testified differently it is very likely the outcome would have been different.

Because Spirit’s CEO testified that they didn’t need the merger to survive, and Jet Blue testified that this would reduce competition and raise prices. That’s exactly what antitrust laws are designed to prevent.

WSJ this morning...
The jet-fuel crisis is turning into a disaster for airlines.
Spirit’s demise is a silver lining for the airlines it competes with. Rivals will backfill some of the vacuum Spirit’s absence leaves behind—JetBlue immediately announced 11 new destinations from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Analysts have said that Spirit’s closure will take unprofitable flying out of the market, giving the remaining airlines more pricing power.
