Title: Texas Republicans Push for Midwest redistricting; Democrats Flee, other states weigh in Texas Republican legislators are advocating for redistricting mid-decade, a move seen as an attempt to strengthen their influence ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The plan, backed by former President Donald Trump, aims to add five more Republican seats in the House. Democrats have countered by leaving the state to prevent the vote, mirroring a similar 2003 event.
