US EditionStates scramble to gerrymander US House districts after Trump sought edge in midterm elections
Political parties pursue redistricting to gain seats in the 2024 midterms, with some states passing maps and courts ordering redraws amid legal battles.
- With the midterm approaching, Republicans and Democrats are redrawing U.S. House districts in states including Texas, Missouri, and New York, amid legal battles and legislative actions.
- Because of representation and legal concerns, both parties pursued mid‑decade redistricting, with President Donald Trump urging Republicans in Texas last summer to redraw districts for political gain.

- Upcoming filing deadlines—Feb. 4 and March 1—will shape which maps candidates in Utah, Illinois, and Wisconsin will run under, as the state House acts this week.
