💨 Abstract
President Donald Trump urged Texas Republicans to redraw congressional maps to create more GOP-friendly seats, aiming to help the party retain House control in the 2026 midterms. This move, ahead of a special Texas legislative session, could lead other states to follow suit. Democrats criticized the plan, arguing it undermines fair elections. The special session in Texas is also focused on addressing recent floods, but Republicans plan to push for redistricting.
