Republicans are going to lose control of the House next year, according to one GOP strategist on Saturday.
Speaking on MSNBC's PoliticsNation, Republican strategist Susan del Percio, who has a history of working with Republican candidates and in Rudy Giuliani's administration, was asked about recent redistricting news in New York and how it might affect the national political landscape.
Host Al Sharpton said New York's highest court "cleared that way for Democrats to redraw the state's congressional districts, potentially reversing gains Republicans made in New York in 2022, and possibly tilting control of the House Representatives to Democrats in 2024." He then asked her, "How significant is this ruling to that national political picture next year?"

"It's very significant," del Percio said before clarifying that it was Democrats who drew the maps in the first place.
"This is all done by Democrats drawing those lines," she said, "but nationally, it is very significant."
She continued:
"Come January 1st, there is going to be a two-seat majority for Republicans, and they need every vote they can get. Frankly, I don't see how they hold on to the House. Of the six districts, three are absolutely competitive. Two are most likely to flip. So it will change that landscape, obviously. And I think it will lead to Democrats, a Hakeem Jeffries speakership. Let's put it that way."
