*John Kiriakou's read on two developments affecting the 2026 midterm landscape — the Supreme Court's disallowance of Virginia's redistricting, which he says makes a Democratic House win less certain given widespread Republican-favoring gerrymandering, and Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation despite winning her last race with 77.5% of the vote, because she knew she could not survive another Republican primary.*

- **Supreme Court ruling:** Disallowed Virginia's redistricting
- **Effect (per Kiriakou):** Less certain Democrats win the House, given Republican-favoring gerrymandering elsewhere
- **Marjorie Taylor Greene's last election result:** 77.5% of the vote
- **Reason for her resignation (per Kiriakou):** Feared she could not win another Republican primary — her own party, not Democrats, had become the threat

[John Kiriakou](https://www.kiripedia.org/wiki/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]
