Nine of the top 10 wealthiest congressional districts are represented by Democrats, while Republicans now represent most of the poorer half of the country, according to median income data provided by Rep. Marcy Kaptur's (D-Ohio) office.

Why it matters: The last several decades have ushered in a dramatic political realignment, as the GOP has broadened its appeal to a more diverse working class and Democrats have become the party of wealthier, more-educated voters.

"Republicans were the party of the country club, and they're increasingly the party of country," lobbyist and political analyst Bruce Mehlman told Axios.

"We have seen an inversion of Democrat and Republican shares of the highest- and lowest-income districts — and the highest and lowest college degree-holding districts," Cook Political Report's Dave Wasserman told Axios.

By the numbers: 64% of congressional districts with median incomes below the national median are now represented by Republicans — a shift in historical party demographics, the data shows.

I think some of the democrats are starting to get worried they may be losing some of their historically reliable voting base. They may keep the trans vote but lose the Bud Light drinkers' vote. Which is the largest segment of voters?

I understand the message of the phraseology, but I think if you go to your average country club, you’ll still find mostly republicans.

Republicans are losing the “educated” (indoctrinated) suburban women. They’re losing them because of ‘the view’ camp that is a part of the unborn death cult and the fear of the boogeyman patriarchy. To them, everything else be damned, including the economy and defense of this country, as long as as a birthing person’s dating life doesn’t have extra complications.

The demonrat media complex has been successful in pressing the death cult of abortion and stoking fear in the minds of women.
