US EditionTrump urged GOP-led states to redraw US House districts. Now other states also are gerrymandering
President Trump’s push has led to bipartisan mid-decade redistricting in multiple states, with some maps potentially shifting five seats, affecting control of the U.S. House in 2026.
- President Donald Trump's call prompted an unusual surge of mid-decade redistricting, with Texas acting early as Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed a U.S. House map on Aug. 29 that could help Republicans win five additional seats.
- With control of the U.S. House at stake, President Donald Trump hopes redistricting will help stave off historical midterm losses, while Democrats need to gain three seats to wrest control.
- Several new maps face legal challenges and voter approval, with Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe's Sept. 28 map and North Carolina Republican-led General Assembly's plan potentially adding seats.
- In response, California Democratic-led state was first to counter Trump's redistricting push, while Colorado Democratic Attorney General Phil Weiser supports a constitutional amendment process requiring approval in two separate sessions before a statewide ballot.
