Historically, the liberals have always gone after the large populated areas like California and New York, left and upper right coast, and the union areas like the upper Great Lakes states big cities.
Fortunately, that naturally gerrymanders the vote for the House against the Democrats, since any reasonably compact district in a city will be won overwhelmingly by a Democrat, but in consequence Republicans are more competitive in more congressional districts in any given state than their gross numbers would suggest.

“Republicans are more competitive in more congressional districts in any given state than their gross numbers would suggest.”

There are a few that are going to be liberal even if they are not running one that year. But the growth in the Trump movement in other states besides small amounts of electoral votes in the lib power areas, has just caught up with them. And Trump took 30 states to the libs 20 that included their power stations. They expected the population of the large areas like the cities and rural pops like New England, which are back to back cities, to overshadow the Wyomings and Montanas. Oh, what evil lurks in the minds of men?
