Several southern and western states will be seeing an increase in their political clout in the House of Representatives, according to the first results from the Census Bureau s decennial survey.
The bureau released its apportionment counts Monday, as well as the total population for each state, according to the 2020 Census. Apportionment determines which states gain or lose congressional districts based on their total population.
The counts also set each state s share of votes in the Electoral College, which is determined by the number of representatives in their congressional delegation.

Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH) formally launched his Senate bid on Monday morning, after months of speculation surrounding his plans. Ryan is the first Democrat to throw his hat in the ring for the party’s nomination.
“The success of America isn’t housed in the halls of Congress. It lies in the calloused hands and unrelenting grit of America’s workers. Those who dug the deepest send our nation soaring,” Ryan says in his launch ad. “Right now, our workers need a game plan. We’re competing with countries around the world for jobs. So in my mind, there’s nothing more patriotic than investing in our team: our people, our workers.I’ll work with anyone to rebuild our economy, but I will never sell out our workers.”

“We’re talking to workers who have been left behind, who show up for work and can’t get ahead and that’s who we are talking to, Ryan says.
