9 states have new US House districts for the midterm elections after Trump urged changes
About 10% of potential voters are in new districts, according to an Associated Press estimate, as court rulings and state moves settled the map.
- The Supreme Court settled a long-running legal battle in Missouri late last week, ruling the state must use the same map it used in the 2024 elections, not a new one backed by President Donald Trump.
- Roughly 440 days after Trump spurred a mid-decade redrawing of congressional maps, voting districts for the consequential midterm elections are finally settled in all states.
- About 10% of potential voters nationwide are in new districts this year, including more than 6.9 million in Texas, over 6.3 million in Democratic-led California, and more than 4.5 million in Florida.
- Nine states have new House maps, with Republicans gaining in most; California and Utah boundaries could help Democrats, while seven of Tennessee's nine districts ended up with new boundaries.
- The 2028 elections could bring more changes, as ballot issues in Maryland and Missouri and potential legislative action in Georgia and Indiana keep congressional maps on the agenda.
