More GOP ‘Strategery’* to Win the House of Representatives
Adam Turner


President Trump has reportedly pushed the Texas GOP to re-redistrict its U.S. House districts, so as to "guarantee" another five seats for the Republicans. 

This is all part of his and his political team’s plan to hold the House in the 2026 mid-terms. The Republicans currently have a 220 to 215 majority in the U.S. House, not including any vacancies, which are all likely to be retained by the incumbent party. To hold the House, they can afford to lose up to two more.  And they would like to pick up some seats to solidify their control and prevent troublemaking Republicans – see Thomas Massie (KY) – from being able to derail GOP priorities. 

Re-redistricting Texas is a good addition to the plan. In 2002, the Republicans bucked the normal loss in the mid-terms partly because it was a redistricting year. Of course, that was not the only reason – there was also a "rally around the flag" moment after the 9/11 attack, and the GOP was also finally booming in the boom-and-bust cycle after having lost seats continuously in every election since 1994.

Now, the Democrats have vowed vengeance if this occurs in Texas by pushing for a re-redistricting in California. But this is unlikely to succeed, as there are several hurdles they would face in trying to overturn normal California procedures.
