Texas GOP Weighs Rare Mid-Decade Redistricting
The White House and Texas Republicans are discussing a rare mid-decade redistricting effort to strengthen the GOP's narrow House majority ahead of the 2026 midterms. The initiative is reportedly driven by President Trump's political operation, though many Texas GOP lawmakers are cautious, fearing it could destabilize safe Republican districts. Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, argue the current map is already heavily gerrymandered and suggest further redistricting could make seats more competitive for them. Implementing the plan would require Governor Greg Abbott to call a special legislative session, which he has not yet endorsed. Legal challenges are anticipated if the effort advances, as Texas is already facing lawsuits over its 2021 maps. The talks highlight the high political stakes as both parties look to shape the fight for House control.
