In Redistricting Battles, Here’s How Trump, Republicans and Democrats Are Faring

On a mid-October Friday, President Trump urged Indiana Republicans to redraw maps to add two House seats, igniting a midcycle redistricting push that Democrats, led by Hakeem Jeffries, are racing to counter. The effort has produced GOP gains in Texas, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio, while legal fights and intraparty resistance stall plans in Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska and New Hampshire. Democrats are advancing moves in California, Virginia, New York and Utah, yet face hesitation in Maryland. With both parties split, control of Congress hangs on a volatile, state-by-state map fight.
