As GOP strikes to rig the map in Texas, Democrats gear up for a combat

As GOP strikes to rig the map in Texas, Democrats gear up for a combat
SHARE

Texas Republicans on Tuesday launched a proposed new congressional map that might oust as many as 5 Democrats from Congress—a determined ploy by the GOP to rig the 2026 midterm elections to forestall the Home from turning blue.

President Donald Trump demanded that Texas redraw their map to assist Republicans gerrymander their option to victory, amid fears that voter backlash to his unpopular agenda would trigger the GOP to lose its Home majority. If Democrats have been to retake the chamber, it could successfully finish Trump’s legislative priorities and pave the way in which for congressional probes into his corrupt conduct. 

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, has now heeded that demand. Earlier in July, he referred to as for a particular session for the Republican-controlled legislature to cross a brand new congressional map that may make districts so GOP heavy that Democrats don’t have any probability at successful them. 

Democrats have slammed Republicans’ overt effort to rig the midterms, and say they’re engaged on plans to retaliate in sort.


Republican state Rep. Carl H. Tepper of Texas appears by congressional district maps on the Texas Capitol on July 24.

Key gamers within the state say they assist that effort, to keep away from having to combat for management of Congress with one hand tied behind their backs.

“I stand by the work of the commission of course. We drew fair and competitive maps that fully abided by federal laws around the Voting Rights Act to ensure communities of color have an equal opportunity at the ballot box,” Sara Sadhwani, a politics professor at Pomona Faculty and member of the state’s 2021 unbiased redistricting fee, instructed the Los Angeles Instances. “That being said, especially when it comes to Congress, most certainly California playing fair puts Democrats at a disadvantage nationally.”

“I think it’s patriotic to fight against what appears to be our democracy falling into what appears to be authoritarian rule,” she added.

In the meantime, teams in Wisconsin have filed a number of lawsuits in search of to get the state’s present congressional map—through which Republicans management six of the state’s eight seats—tossed out. Nonetheless, the state Supreme Court docket declined to listen to two of these challenges. 

The Democratic Congressional Marketing campaign Committee, which seeks to elect Democrats to the Home, additionally mentioned it anticipates lawsuits to dam Texas’ map—if and when it’s handed by the Legislature.

“From the beginning of this broken process, Texas Republicans’ only objective has been to follow orders from DC party bosses desperate to try and save House Republicans’ teetering majority,” DCCC Government Director Julie Merz mentioned in a press release. “We’re still evaluating the proposed map. At first look, Texas Republicans appear to have made what is already one of the country’s most racially discriminatory maps even worse. Should this map become law, we anticipate Texas will get sued and the map will get struck down. Regardless, DCCC is ready to recruit aggressively to unseat every single newly vulnerable Republican who went along with this corrupt scheme.”

It’s unclear, nonetheless, if any of those efforts will work—or happen in time to counter Texas’ bare power-grab.

“Donald Trump knows he can’t win the midterm election fair and square. So he’s trying to rig the rules in Texas before an election even happens,” Rep. Greg Cesar, a Texas Democrat whose district can be redrawn by his state’s Republican majority, posted on social media Monday evening. “But if Trump’s insane redistricting plan succeeds in Texas, no state in the country is safe.”
