The legislature is meeting in special session to draft plans that could give the party five more seats in Congress.

One former high-ranking Texas Republican state legislator is now coming out forcefully against President Donald Trump's latest push to drastically redraw congressional districts in the Lone Star State.

One of the priorities during the 30-day special session of the Texas Legislature is a request by Governor Greg Abbott to redraw political boundaries in the state to benefit the Republican party.

Gov. Gavin Newsom says California should redraw its congressional maps ahead of 2026 to ‘put a stake in the heart’ of Trump’s Texas redistricting plan.

In a Washington Post column published on the 4th of July, one of the most famous Never Trump conservatives in the United States — 84-year-old George Will — argued that Texas' 2026 U.S. Senate race just might be in play for Democrats if State Attorney General Ken Paxton is the nominee.

President Trump wants Texas Republicans to redraw the state’s House maps to nab as many as five seats now held by Democrats. But no new maps have been publicly proposed yet.

State Rep. Chris Turner also tells Inside Texas Politics that all options are on the table for Democrats, including leaving the state.

Texas Republicans want to redraw the state's congressional districts to gain an advantage in next year's election. U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., says Democrats must counter or become complicit.

Texas’ elected officials, including Governor Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and the state House speaker, Dustin Burrows, can fall in line with the president or not; they can place party loyalty above Texas voters or do the right thing. It is their choice — they don’t have to be complicit.

Texas Democrats can run from Republicans' gerrymandering, but they can't hide. No walkouts, blue state redistricting or Voting Rights Act protections can thwart Trump's plot to keep the U.S. House.

Democratic Governors Laura Kelly (Kansas) and Tim Walz (Minnesota) are splitting from the National Governors Association (NGA) over its response to President Trump's policies, and will not be paying NGA dues as the group gathers for its summer meeting in Colorado this week.
