Democrats fight Texas Republicans' plan to add five more GOP seats through mid-decade redistricting.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is intensifying efforts to counter Texas Republicans' push for mid-decade redistricting, which aims to add five more Republican seats to Congress ahead of the 2026 midterms. This move, supported by President Trump, could prevent Democrats from regaining the House majority. The DNC plans to use 30,000 volunteers to contact persuadable Republican voters and state representatives. Texas lawmakers are in special session to consider the redistricting, amid other issues like flood relief and taxes. Each state has unique rules for redistricting, and other states may follow Texas's lead if the plan is successful.
