In Trump’s Redistricting Push, Democrats Find an Aggressive Identity and Progressives Are on Board
Democrats in Texas and allied governors vow retaliatory redistricting to counter Republican efforts aiming to expand GOP House majority ahead of 2026 midterms, officials said.
- Democrats in the Texas Legislature delayed Republican efforts to approve new districts aimed at expanding GOP seats before the 2026 midterm elections by fleeing to deny quorum.
- Republicans, led by allies of the president, announced a political map intended to add five GOP seats in the U.S. House, while Democratic governors pledged retaliatory redistricting in their own states.
- Texas Democrats, supported by figures like Beto O'Rourke who urged early redistricting, have united progressive and establishment factions alongside public rallies and media efforts to counter GOP advances.
- A recent poll found about 15% of Democrats' voters describe the party as weak or apathetic, with an additional 10% calling it ineffective or disorganized, reflecting internal challenges.
- This standoff reflects intensified partisan conflict over redistricting with Democrats willing to use unconventional tactics to protect legislative control and pursue later reforms banning gerrymandering and big-money influence.
