Gerrymandering is spreading across US states after Trump pushed for new congressional districts
- A push to reshape congressional districts, instigated by President Donald Trump, is sweeping across states, with Republican officials redrawing maps to gain an electoral edge.
- Republican state officials have responded by changing House districts, while Democratic state lawmakers counter with their own maps as Democrats need three seats to flip the House.
- So far, mid-decade redistricting has produced nine seats Republicans believe they can win and six seats Democrats think they can win, yielding a GOP net advantage of three.
- Redistricting is being litigated in multiple states, raising uncertainty about map use as the U.S. Department of Justice joins litigation and federal court panels blocked maps on Nov. 18.
- A special state House committee is to meet Dec. 4 on redistricting, opponents face a Dec. 11 petition deadline, and another vote is needed during the regular session that begins Jan. 14.
