The new congressional map is expected to cut into California\u2019s 45th district, currently held by Democratic Rep. Katie Porter, and bolster numbers in one or several of the surrounding districts in and around Orange County.<\/p>\n<p>Where the cuts will come out of Porter\u2019s overpopulated county, and into which new district those voters will be placed, is difficult to predict. In some scenarios, those changes could benefit GOP challengers hoping to flip Democratic seats. Currently, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (D-CA) is just a few seats shy of control in the 218-212 Democratic-controlled House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe southern portion of Porter\u2019s 45th district also could go to Democratic Rep. Mike Levin\u2019s narrowly blue 49th District, which includes southern Orange County and northern San Diego County. If that happens, it would favor Republicans Brian Maryott, a former San Juan Capistrano council member who is challenging Levin for a third time in 2022, or Oceanside City Councilman Christopher Rodriguez, who is rumored to be considering a CA-49 run,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/2021\/04\/15\/rep-katie-porters-seat-could-lose-some-voters-in-redistricting-where-will-they-go\/\">The Orange County Register<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n<p>Porter could also lose constituents to the 46th District currently represented by Democratic Rep. Lou Correa. The area that the Porter is likely to lose from, Tustin, would aid Correa but cut into Porter\u2019s Democratic base, giving the GOP an opportunity to unseat her in 2022, according to the Register.<\/p>\n<p>Flipping the House red in 2022 would be a significant victory for the GOP and effectively stifle the Democrats and President Joe Biden\u2019s progressive agenda. The Democrats currently control the House, Senate, and White House, leaving Republicans with only the Senate filibuster, which requires 60 votes to overcome, to stop Democratic legislation.<\/p>\n<p>A number of high-profile Democrats have reversed their stance on the filibuster since Biden\u2019s election. A dozen Democratic lawmakers who defended the filibuster in a letter to then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/these-12-democrats-defended-the-filibuster-in-2017-now-they-want-it-abolished-what-changed\">argued<\/a> in favor of abolishing the filibuster now that the White House is in Democratic hands.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell, now minority leader, threatened Democrats in March if they voted to kill the filibuster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want our colleagues to imagine a world where every single task, every one of them, requires a physical quorum \u2014 which by the way, the vice president does not count in determining a quorum,\u201d McConnell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mcconnell-warns-democrats-what-republicans-will-do-if-democrats-end-filibuster-would-be-childs-play\">said<\/a> in a speech on the Senate floor. \u201cEverything that Democratic Senates did to Presidents Bush and Trump \u2026 everything the Republican Senate did to President Obama \u2026 would be child\u2019s play compared to the disaster that Democrats would create for their own priorities if they break the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs soon as Republicans wound up back in the saddle, we wouldn\u2019t just erase every liberal change that hurt the country,\u201d McConnell said. \u201cWe\u2019d strengthen America with all kinds of conservative policies with zero \u2014 zero \u2014 input from the other side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
