- Texas Republicans plan a rare mid-decade redistricting effort targeting five Democratic-held U.S. House seats for the 2026 midterms.
- This move, driven by Donald Trump, seeks to strengthen the Republican hold on a narrowly divided House.
- California Governor Gavin Newsom counters by redrawing districts to reclaim five Republican seats, intensifying state-level partisan clashes.
- Several other states from both parties are considering similar redistricting actions, raising concerns about gerrymandering practices.
“These are unlawful and unconstitutional decisions that deviate from well-settled, decades-old laws and policies that sought to protect against just this type of action.”— Mark Zaid, a national security lawyer whose own clearance was revoked by the Trump administration.
