US EditionA redistricting battle among states has reshaped the US House map ahead of the midterm election
Republicans and Democrats are pursuing revised maps in several states, with new districts projected to shift as many as 23 House seats.
- On Wednesday, Florida's Republican-led Legislature approved new House districts that could help the GOP win four additional seats in this year's elections.
- President Donald Trump last year urged Texas Republicans to redraw House districts, triggering a cascade of redistricting efforts that reshaped the electoral battlefield ahead of November's midterms.
- Republicans believe they could win up to 13 additional seats from new congressional districts in Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, and Florida combined, including five seats from the Texas map alone.
- Democrats, meanwhile, think they could gain up to 10 seats from new districts in California, Utah, and Virginia, with California voters approving revised maps drawn by the Democratic-led Legislature.
- The Supreme Court in February allowed the new districts to be used in this year's elections, though the court previously granted Republicans' request to halt the judge's order blocking the maps.
