The GOP’s mid-decade gerrymandering strategy was an epic fail
Mother Jones reports that the GOP's mid-decade gerrymandering strategy, meant to lock in House control before the 2026 elections, instead backfired: Republicans lead in only one of the five new Texas seats Donald Trump said he was entitled to, lost two Texas seats, and saw all four gerrymandered Florida districts flip blue. It says a surge in Black turnout over the Louisiana v. Callais decision helped Democrats win Senate races in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, while NDRC president John Bisognano calls Trump's scheme catastrophic for Republicans.
