Each of the nation's 20 wealthiest congressional districts, when measured by median household income, will be held by Democrats in the upcoming Congress.
Republicans did not win one.
These districts are not broadly dispersed. Only one is not on the East or West Coast.
Seven are in or near New York City. Five are in the San Francisco Bay Area. Four are in suburbs of Washington, D.C. Two are in Southern California. One is near Boston. And another -- the only one in the middle of the continent -- sits west of Chicago.
In the 115th Congress, which is about to expire, Republicans held four of these districts. In November's midterm, they lost them all.

Money CAN buy you political influence.
The Democrats have spent vast sums of money convincing “the poor” that they are the very best “servants” that shall act on behalf of “the poor”.
By keeping them eternally in poverty.
Guilt, fear and decadence is at the core of the voters who vote Democrat in these districts.
Corporate interests own the Dem party as well as most of the GOP. Their corporate paymasters call the tune.
They are also the ‘Party of NO’ border security - i’d like to hear that from Republicans
It’s funny, but when the Republicans were “the party of the rich” not one democrat every called them the smartest people in the country - like they call themselves today. They portrayed these people as dumb, greedy and shameless.
False promises of freebies for the the allegedly poor. Scammers scamming scammers.
The WWII generation in academia began to retire when I was in graduate school, in the seventies. They were all replaced by lefties, even in Departments like Geology. Only Engineering and Agriculture avoided this purge. These days even those disciplines are infiltrated by the Left.
Their students live in the suburbs and are doing very well and they are lefties, whether Democrat or Republican. Most hate Trump, especially professional women. The women who voted D this time, will not vote fro Trump in 2020 and are very unlikely to ever return to the GOP. The Republican Party has become the blue collar, white, citizen party.
Please do not edit my comments. If you disagree, add your own comment, I don’t need any “fixin’”. Of course, you can play this little silly game with the text of published articles, which is where this practice came from on FR.
As for your thoughts, that may have been true prior to 2018, but that is not what happened in suburbia this year. Moreover, I’m sure that many married women told their husbands that they voted GOP, but the numbers in Suburban precincts show that someone is lying.
Let’s play nice...
I live in NJ7 and Lance was a lousy candidate. Squishy, run to the middle, doesn’t really stand for anything. Even though I wasn’t a Trump fan at the time, Lance coming out against Trump during the election really p.ssed me off. He should have just kept his mouth shut.
Lots of liberal NY’ers and wealthy immigrants have moved into NJ7 in the last 15 years. It used to be that the Raritan Vally Line towns were democrat but now they are spreading into the surrounding townships with all the new housing developments.
akalinin performed a great edit of your post.
Brevity is the Soul of Wit - William Shakespeare
I say House Republicans lost far more voters because they did very little to support the Trump agenda.
I asked nicely, but I can play this game, too.
The poorest congressional districts are likely democrat too... the corrupt liberal ‘elites’ and their servant-class pets... the top and bottom.
I’m betting working-class and middle-class districts are largely Republican...
