Strong Lean D. I won't go as far as calling it Likely D yet since the margin will probably remain close. However, this is one of the most likely Trump districts to flip on the presidential level, and it's tough to see McBath losing under those circumstances.

Lean D, not unwinnable for R's but also not a top tier target. After 2020, they may as well draw this seat safer D and give up on it while trying to make the 7th more Republican.

Likely D

Trump will likely lose this district (contrary to 2016) and I don’t see how republicans can flip it back under a such scenario, McBath should win pretty easily

Lean D. Trump has probably a better than even chance of losing this district, and I don't see why McBath would underperform the Democratic nominee.

Likely D.

She’ll win the Fulton part of the county outright this time too.

Tossup/Tilt R, unless Trump is impeached AND the case against him has the consensus that the case against Nixon had.

Oh nice, we’re jumping back from being stuck in 2004 to being stuck in 1974. Is the TX Panhandle district lean D too since it’s open now after the strong incumbent is retiring?

It's at least Lean D but the margin will depend on who is at the top of the ticket.    She has maintained a fairly low, noncontroversial profile and appeals to voters in the suburban areas.

Agreed on the rating. Disagree on redistricting. Republicans can totally draw a safe R district here, even if they also somehow got permission to draw out Johnson. Check out the 538 maps, or just draw around on your own if you want.

GA-6 was Safe R as late as 2014

Your hot takes have been unusually bizarre lately, even by your standards.

I think McBath's election was a fluke.  She could be re-elected, but I believe that the district here is still Republican-leaning.  Not by much, I grant you.

GA-6 may be Republican leaning, but not while Trump is President.

Is IL-6 not a Democratic leaning district because Rauner carried it?

The dynamics of IL-Gov 2018 and GA-Gov 2018 are more than a little different.

Joyette Holmes should run. She’s Cobb’s first black woman DA, and a Republican. I don’t know whether or not she lives in the 6th but maybe she can run here.

Granted the district probably won't swing 20 points against Trump again, but no way in hell is this district still Republican leaning.
