Do midterm redistricting efforts favor Republicans?
The justices gave no reason for the order as states race to redraw maps that could give Republicans about a dozen seats, analysts said.
- The Supreme Court rejected an appeal from Virginia Democrats on Friday to uphold their redrawn congressional map, preserving what appears to be a Republican advantage heading into midterm elections.
- Donald Trump has been pushing States to redistrict in Republicans favor since reentering office, as the party traditionally loses congressional seats during midterm elections.
- Redrawn congressional maps across Florida, Texas, and Ohio have created 16 potential new seats for Republicans, while Democrats gained six potential new seats nationally.
- South Carolina State Legislatures began a special session Friday to decide whether to pursue new maps for November, while voting for redrawn districts is already underway in Georgia.
- More States have pursued mid-decade redistricting ahead of the 2026 midterms than at any point since the 1800s, driven by both Trump's calls and Democratic countermeasures.
