The redistricting arms race sparked by President Donald Trump’s push to draw new congressional lines in Texas has both parties rethinking the political map.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has signed on to a map that could give Republicans five more congressional seats, and at least seven other states are potential targets for mid-decade map adjustments before the middle. California was the second state to produce a new map, which would counter GOP changes in Texas with five more Democratic-friendly seats if voters approve the plan in a November special election.
