US EditionAs Trump pushes Texas takeover in fight for House, Democrats plot their counterpunch
TEXAS, JUL 20 – Trump aims to secure five additional Republican House seats in Texas through aggressive redistricting despite legal challenges and demographic shifts favoring Democrats, according to multiple sources.
- House Democrats are planning a counterattack against President Donald Trump’s efforts to solidify GOP power in Texas for the upcoming midterm elections, as mentioned by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
- Democrats are considering a risky strategy to redraw House maps in several Democratic-controlled states, as reported by Democrats briefed on the effort.
- Trump believes he can gain five more seats in Texas, a claim he shared with the Texas GOP delegation last week, indicating his intention for GOP dominance.
- Jeffries argues that the Republican push is risky, as it could lead to more competitive districts, possibly increasing swing voters in traditionally Republican areas.
