GOP Could Gain Over 40 Seats From Redistricting, Census Overhaul

Republicans may be poised for a seismic advantage in the House of Representatives, with strategists now estimating a potential net gain of up to 42 seats, thanks to a three-pronged effort involving redistricting, proposed changes to the U.S. Census, and a major Supreme Court case challenging race-based districting.

Appearing on Steve Bannon’s War Room, GOP strategist Alex DeGrasse laid out the coordinated strategy with striking confidence.

“We zoom out, Steve, we’ve got three things here,” DeGrasse began. “We’ve got obviously the Texas redistricting… we talked about 12 seats, now it’s 13, now they’re talking about 15, 16. You’ve got South Carolina, you’ve got other states looking at things.”

DeGrasse noted that Texas alone could yield as many as five new seats through mid-decade redistricting, with other GOP-led states like Missouri, Ohio, and Florida exploring similar maneuvers.

The second major push involves census reform—an initiative backed by President Trump to exclude illegal immigrants from the count, which would dramatically reshape how congressional seats are apportioned.

“Obviously, the census and not including illegal immigrants, which again, something the War Room and you have been talking about since the start of the show… would be [to] systematically change modern American politics,” DeGrasse added.

Omitting the illegals in the census would hit a lot of leftist Democrat states hard!

Expect the phrase "losing seats" to become more common ...
