Hi Reddit. I’m a reporter with Bloomberg Government in Washington, D.C., covering the 2024 congressional elections, redistricting, and money in politics. I’ve been with Bloomberg for more than 10 years, and before that I worked as a political reporter at CQ. I write the “Giroux’s Gem” feature for BGOV’s Congress Tracker newsletter. Read my work here and follow me on X or Bluesky.
What would you like to ask me about the 2024 congressional elections? What are the prospects for Democrats to win control of the House and for Republicans to win a majority of seats in the Senate?
Could both chambers flip in opposite partisan directions? What are some states and districts worth watching in the primaries and general election? Which members of Congress are in danger of losing re-election? How will redistricting influence the elections?

Odds that Dems control house and senate?
Let’s start with your rhetorical questions:

Do you think RFK could actually pull an upset and win the US presidency?
How can Dems consistently remind ppl of the achievements in the last 4

Hi Greg! Thanks so much for doing this AMA.
In the 2022 election, there was a lot of fervor over election integrity, the 2020 election being “stolen”, etc. How much of that are you seeing in the leadup to this election from the individuals running for office, what is being done at the state level with respect to “election integrity”, and how are voters responding to it?
It’s a few questions, but I’m very curious about all of that. Thanks so much in advance!
What effect, if any, will gerrymandering have an impact on the House? In which states and for which parties?
What sort of messaging do you think democrats should be emphasizing this year to better connect with suburban voters? Also, same question but with Latino voters?
Why is the bombing of Rafah not a red line for Biden?
How nervous should Ted Cruz be about losing his election against Colin Allred this fall?
At what point in this election cycle will polling expand beyond calling landlines? There’s such a limited subset of people who still use landlines that I imagine the current polling results are skewed.
Hi Greg, thank you for doing this AMA.
What races should we be paying close attention to? particularly in the House and Senate.
Thank you!
With Trump endorsed candidates losing on a routine basis, and Nikki Haley still receiving significant votes in closed Republican primaries, how does the media explain their consistent headlines proclaiming Trump being the frontrunner?
What are the chances Joe Biden announces a new VP instead of KH as a surprise just prior to Election Day?
Is Florida actually in play for the Senate? Does Scott’s leadership bid have any bearing?
Be honest, does Texas have any real chance of getting rid of Ted Cruz?
People on Reddit seem to be ignoring poll numbers because of inaccuracies based on who is answering the phone mid-day (or answering calls from unknown numbers), which they believe skews the results. From your vantage point, do polling companies accurately correct for this, or are polls as worthless as Reddit wants to believe?
What races are shaping up the most surprisingly compared to expectations so far?
Is there somewhere we can read your articles that is not obscured by a paywall?
