Trump urged GOP-led states to redraw US House districts. Now other states also are gerrymandering
Both parties are redrawing U.S. House districts in 2025 to influence elections, with Texas aiming to gain five seats for Republicans, according to state legislative actions.
- President Donald Trump's call prompted an unusual surge of mid-decade redistricting, with Texas acting early as Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed a U.S. House map on Aug. 29 that could help Republicans win five additional seats.
- With control of the U.S. House at stake, President Donald Trump hopes redistricting will help stave off historical midterm losses, while Democrats need to gain three seats to wrest control.
- Several new maps face legal challenges and voter approval, with Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe's Sept. 28 map and North Carolina Republican-led General Assembly's plan potentially adding seats.
- In response, California Democratic-led state was first to counter Trump's redistricting push, while Colorado Democratic Attorney General Phil Weiser supports a constitutional amendment process requiring approval in two separate sessions before a statewide ballot.
