Republicans in Texas are reportedly in talks with President Donald Trump’s political team over a plan to redraw the state’s congressional boundaries in an effort to gain seats (or mitigate losses) in the House of Representatives for the 2026 midterm elections.

The plan would shift voters from safely red districts into blue ones. Members of the GOP delegation aren't sold.

More than three years after the Texas Legislature redrew all of its congressional and state legislative districts, the legal fallout is far from over. Yet that is not stopping President Donald Trump's administration from tossing a major monkey wrench into ongoing court fights over the maps.
