All the House District Data You Never Knew You Needed | Cook Political Report Political operatives have spent the past several months poring over the 2024 presidential election results by congressional district, calculating where candidates for the House ran ahead — or fell short — of the nominees at the top of the ticket. Though that data remains an invaluable baseline of partisan performance heading into the 2026 midterms, it only tells a part of each seat’s story.
