Trump’s gerrymanders fail spectacularly as Democrats hold nearly every seat
Democracy Docket reports that President Trump's push for Republican gerrymanders backfired in the 2026 midterms, as Democrats seized both houses of Congress and held nearly every targeted seat, with Texas flipping three districts and voters ousting Gov. Greg Abbott, and North Carolina, Missouri, and Ohio also rebuffing GOP maps. Democracy Docket calls the results a historic rebuke and sees Republicans rethinking the strategy.
