What to know about the congressional redistricting trend kick-started by Trump

3 weeks 6 days ago
President Donald Trump’s call to redraw U.S. House districts before the 2026 elections has led to a wave of political maneuvering among state-level Republicans and Democrats. Texas Republicans were the first to take up redistricting intended to help their party win more seats. Then came Democratic-led California and Republican-led Missouri. More states could be following, including Republican-led Indiana. Redistricting typically occurs once a decade, after each census. The current mid-decade redistricting is being driven partly by the close political margins in Congress. Democrats need to gain just three seats in next year's elections to take control of the House from Republicans.
