- Republicans are redrawing congressional boundaries in six states, aiming to secure about 10 seats favorable to the GOP and bolster their slim 218-212 majority in the U.S. House ahead of November elections.

- Both parties are preparing aggressive maps for the 2028 election, with Georgia Republicans planning a legislative session next month, marking a permanent shift toward partisan redistricting every cycle rather than the traditional decadal process.
