Each state shaded by the partisan lean of its 2024 House delegation, linking to the state's district results. The full 435-district map is on the cycle page.
Delegation lean is (Democratic − Republican seats) ÷ total seats; an evenly split delegation reads neutral, and a one-seat state shades fully to its winner.
