With next year’s midterms looming, both parties are racing to redraw congressional maps. Republicans have already approved new lines in Texas, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio, with analysts projecting up to nine Republican gains. Democrats are pinning hopes on California’s Proposition 50, which would tilt five districts their way. Other states, from Utah to Indiana and Virginia, remain in flux. The House now stands at 219 to 213 with three vacancies; Democrats need a net three seats. New maps shift several battlegrounds right, and a Supreme Court ruling by June 2026 could scramble them again.
