Texas Gop to reveal new Congress cards while Trump is looking for House Edge

President Donald Trump and the Republicans are advancing at full speed in an extraordinary push to redesign the Congress Congress cards before the mid-term elections next year, when the GOP defends its majority of the thin house as a razor.

And the Democrats try to retaliate against the controversial movements of the Republicans.

The legislators of the State of Texas GOP will unveil their new Congress Rediscuss cards offered on Wednesday on Wednesday, a well -connected republican source in the Lone Star State confirmed to Fox News Digital.

Meanwhile, the best Democrat in the Chamber is expected to go to Texas to meet Wednesday evening with Democrats in the state legislature during a meeting in Austin.

The chief of the Hakeem Jeffries House minority accused the Republicans of having “afraid of voters in 2026 in the mid-term elections and they try to cheat to win”.

The republican thrust in Texas is part of a wider effort of the GOP across the country to keep control of the room and the losses of cushion elsewhere in the country, because the ruling party is traditionally confronted with political-opposite winds and loses seats in mid-term elections.

Trump and his political team aim to prevent what happened during his first mandate in the White House, when the Democrats returned to seize the majority of the room in the middle of 2018.

“Texas will be the greatest,” the president recently told journalists, as he predicted the number of seats adapted to the GOP which could be added by redistribution in the red state reliably. “Just a simple redrawn, we collect five seats.”

The Democrats only control 12 of the 38 districts of the State Congress, with a vacant blue seat after the death of March of the representative Sylvester Turner.

The idea of the GOP is to move democratic voters from competitive seats in the GOP districts nearby and to move republican voters in the neighboring districts that Democrats are currently controlling.

Governor Greg Abbott And Lieutenant-Governor Dan Patrick, both conservative Republicans and Trump allies, said they were to redirect due to constitutional concerns raised by the Ministry of Justice on a handful of districts dominated by minorities.

But this decision is potentially risky.

“There is a risk of making republican seats safe more competitive, and I think the holders are certainly worried about it,” Fox News, a republican veteran of Texas, Brendan Steinhauser said. “If you speak to the Republican members of the Congress, they will worry about their own seats. They do not want to be in a more competitive seat.”

Steinhauser noted “is the compromise for the Republicans, if you want to develop the majority”.

But he added that “people drawing the cards … They don’t want to make a seat too competitive because it will overcome the goal”.

Rediscussing generally takes place at the beginning of each decade, based on the latest data in the American census. Rediscussing in mid-December is rare, but not unprecedented.

The Democrats slam Trump and the Texas Republicans for what they describe as a takeover, and promising to take legal action to prevent any change in the current Congress maps.

And the Democrats in the States dominated by blue are now trying to fight fire with fire.

“Two can play this game”, California Governor Gavin Newsom wrote on social networks recently.

The next day, after a meeting, the Democrats of the California Congress Delegation said they were on board with an ambitious plan to try to win at least five seats per redistribution. Democrats currently control 43 of the 52 districts of the Golden State congress.

Jeffries, after his two -day stop in Texas, went to California for meetings with state democrats.

But it will not be easy to implement the change, because in California, the Congress cards are fired by an independent commission which is not supposed to leave the partisanary influencing their work.

Newsom has suggested that the legislature under Democratic Control of the State is advancing with a royalty in mid-December of cards, arguing that it may not be prohibited by the 17-year-old voting initiative which created the Independent Commission.

The governor also quickly proposed a special election to repeal the commission before the mid-term elections of 2026.

The two plans are considered to be long shots, because they would be confronted with many legislative, legal and financial obstacles.

Democrats of other highly populated blue states, including New York, Illinois and New Jersey, also plan to make changes to their cards, but have redistribution limits consecrated in their state constitutions.

Meanwhile, Ohio is obliged by the law to redirect this year, and a restart of the cards in the state with red sensations could provide GOP up to three other seats in the congress.

And the Republicans also reflect on redistribution of mid-December which could give the GOP some additional house seats in red states such as Florida, Missouri and Indiana.
