John Kiriakou has commented on two developments shaping the 2026 congressional landscape. He notes that after the Supreme Court disallowed Virginia’s redistricting, it became less certain that Democrats would win control of the House of Representatives, since many congressional districts nationally have been gerrymandered to favor Republicans.[1]
Separately, Kiriakou observes that Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene won her final election with 77.5% of the vote yet resigned from Congress anyway — not because she feared a Democratic challenger, but because she knew she could not win another Republican primary. In his framing, her own party, not the opposition, had become the threat to her political survival.[2]
