This GOP gerrymander might backfire spectacularly

It seems Republicans are getting too massive for his or her britches within the Donald Trump-led effort to rig the 2026 midterm elections by redrawing congressional districts to profit the GOP—hubris which will backfire a bit.

On Monday, Utah’s Republican-controlled legislature handed a brand new congressional map that truly opens the get together as much as dropping two seats within the state’s four-member U.S. Home delegation.

Utah handed the brand new map below orders from a state decide, who dominated in August that the present Republican congressional gerrymander violated a legislation that required the state to make use of a nonpartisan fee when drawing districts.

However fairly than make one of many state’s 4 seats blue by centering it round Democratic-heavy Salt Lake Metropolis, as proposed by an impartial redistricting fee, Republicans as a substitute redrew the map to separate Salt Lake Metropolis into two districts, a transfer that ensures that President Donald Trump carried all 4 of the state’s Home seats—albeit by smaller margins than the unlawful map the decide struck down.

But, if a Democratic wave materializes in 2026 amid backlash to Trump and his get together’s fealty to his lawlessness, that would trigger Republicans to truly lose two seats, fairly than only one.

“The map has two seats that Trump carried by about 2 and 7 points, respectively. Such a plan might end up being a ‘dummymander’—a situation when the dominant party draws a map to favor it that backfires and produces gains for the opposition party,” Geoffrey Skelley, the chief elections analyst on the outlet Choice Desk HQ, wrote a couple of draft of Utah’s new map.

The brand new map will nonetheless have to be authorised by a decide earlier than it takes impact.

In the meantime, issues are trying good for Democrats in California, the place voters are being requested in a November poll measure whether or not the legislature ought to redraw the state’s congressional maps in response to GOP redistricting efforts in Texas.


California Gov. Gavin Newsom, proven in August.

If the poll measure passes, California’s redrawn map would seemingly neutralize the good points Republicans are looking for to make in Texas.

What’s extra, Republicans’ efforts to redraw Indiana’s congressional map look like stalling. GOP lawmakers are getting chilly toes about attempting to axe a Democratic seat, Politico’s Adam Wren reported—a lot in order that the White Home is sending Vice President JD Vance to the state to strong-arm GOP legislators into submission.

Democrats, in the meantime, say that regardless of Republicans’ greatest efforts to gerrymander their solution to victory, the GOP’s unpopular actions will nonetheless sink its Home majority subsequent November.

“[Trump] is trying everything possible to keep the House in 2026. All the redistricting in the world isn’t going to help when the Trump health insurance premiums hits,” Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) wrote Tuesday in a publish on X. “24 Million voters, many in swing districts, are gonna see their insurance costs increase. Good luck Don!”
