States that voted for Biden lose 3 net House seats after Census count

preview

Population shifts mean five states that voted for Joe Biden will lose seats in the House when congressional districts are redrawn later this year, new Census numbers released Monday show, but will gain seats in two other states. Only two Trump-voting states will lose a seat. Why it matters: Apportionment and redistricting — the process of redistributing political power among and within the states— comes as Democrats hold slim majorities in both congressional chambers and Republicans have a strong grip on the process of re-drawing district lines.By the numbers: California — the nation's most populous state — is losing a seat for the first time in history. What they're saying: Although Biden states will lose out during this round of apportionment, Brookings Institution demographer William Frey told Axios the overall gains in western states and Texas reflect, at least in part, people moving out of one Democrat-leaning state: California.Between the lines: Apportionment, which happens every ten years, is the process of dividing up the 435 House seats according to the latest population counts for each state.

Another 22% have come in China and 14% in India. Africa, meanwhile, represents just 1.6% of vaccinations to date.The Biden administration took its biggest step yet toward becoming a global supplier of coronavirus vaccines, announcing that it would over the next several weeks.Why it matters: President Biden has been under intense global scrutiny for his "Americans first" approach. Alone among the four major producers, the U.S. has kept nearly its entire supply up to now. The Republican-led campaign to recall California Gov. Newsom to qualify for the ballot, state officials announced Monday.Why it matters: Newsom could face a statewide vote by the end of year, which would mark the second time a sitting governor has had to face a recall election in the state's history.
