For example in NJ 3/4 Leaders represent a district that didn't vote for their candidate in 2016, Steve Sweeney is from an Obama Trump district in South Jersey while Tom Kean and the GOP minority leader in the house represent the same Romney Clinton district in hard D trending Morris that voted for Menendez in 2018.
Another one is Bob Trammel in Georgia who is the only Democrat in a Kemp district and I think Trump one too but not sure about the latter.

I stand corrected, my apologies. I assumed Trump won it since Shilling only won by a recount margin in 2016 and I knew Trump did well in Driftless.

All of the others are indeed correct though. I double checked. The one that stands out the most is Todd Prichard's seat in Iowa, which Trump won by 18 points. JD Scholten won that seat in 2018 by about 50 votes against Steve King. It was previously a double digit Obama seat.

The House Minority Leader of PA, Frank Dermody's Pittsburgh-area district voted for Trump in 2016, while he was re-elected unopposed. In addition, Speaker Mike Turzai's nearby district barely voted for Trump, and is rapidly trending D.
