    Ehh, they gerrymandered a shit ton and Biden is insanely less popular now than he was 4 years ago.

    I fear for the worst.

        Eh. It affects the composition of state and local governments, which is what allows for voter disenfranchisement policies in red areas, which dramatically affects presidential elections.

      There is less gerrymandering now than there was 4 years ago–some court cases have switched things in some states like Wisconsin–and gerrymandering doesn’t directly apply to the President. There are some indirect effects.
