US EditionOhio panel adopts new US House districts that could help Republicans win more seats in next year’s election
- During Thursday, the Republican-dominated Ohio Redistricting Commission adopted new U.S. House districts that could boost the GOP's chances of winning two additional seats next year, following President Donald Trump's push.
- Ohio's constitutional requirement forced mid-decade redistricting because districts from the 2020 census lacked bipartisan support, while President Donald Trump urged Republican-led states this summer to redraw districts.
- The map targets districts held by Democratic U.S. representatives, including Democratic U.S. Rep. Greg Landsman and Democratic U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur , who won her 22nd term by about 2,400 votes while Landsman earned more than 54%.
- Republicans already hold 10 of the 15 congressional seats in Ohio, and control of the U.S. House remains tightly contested as Democrats must gain seats next year to check President Donald Trump's agenda.
- Across the country, Republicans in Texas, Missouri and North Carolina have already revised congressional districts, joining Ohio in reshaping maps, while Virginia General Assembly considers a constitutional amendment and voters in Democratic-led California weigh new districts.
