California could slash 5 GOP US House seats to counter Texas’ move to pad Republican margin
CALIFORNIA, AUG 5 – Rep. Kevin Kiley aims to prevent mid-decade redistricting nationwide to stop partisan gerrymandering and a five-seat GOP boost in Texas ahead of the 2026 elections, he said.
- On Tuesday, Rep. Kevin Kiley, Republican of California, will introduce federal legislation to ban mid-decade redistricting nationwide, barring all 50 states from using maps for the 2026 elections that are not last year's.
- Amid Texas and California redistricting tensions, Kiley proposed federal legislation to ban mid-decade redistricting nationwide, citing voter protections and the Elections Clause.
- On Monday, Rep. Kevin Kiley said the bill blocks a power grab by Gov. Gavin Newsom and notes California voters established a Citizens Redistricting Commission in 2010, mandating redistricting once per decade.
- If enacted and signed by President Trump, the bill would nullify potential Texas map changes and ban new maps nationwide until after the 2030 census.
- Looking ahead, Kiley framed the bill as a national guardrail against partisan redistricting, citing Congress’s authority under the Elections Clause to protect California voters.
