I think their gerrymander's gonna bite them in the ass; they've had to water down a lot of R+15 seats to create more R+5 seats and in a 50-50 year it would work well for them. If things continue as they are or worsen, 2026 won't be close to a 50-50 year. R+5 planning won't save them from a D+10 national shift.
