Republicans of Texas They issued their suggestions for exaggerating the Congress Map in Texas, which may mean trouble for democrats in the middle of the semester.
The recent map, proposed by a representative of the state of Todd Hunter, can add almost half a dozen republican places from Texas to GOP House conference In 2026, which could counteract the historic trend of the party, which runs a white house suffering in half.
Hunter sits on the committee Congress Redistriction, where the provisions regarding redistribution It will be discussed on Friday.
The pulse for redistribution began later Mother Dhillon, Deputy Prosecutor General at the Department of Civil Rights of the Department of Justice, allegedly “unconstitutional racial Gerrymanders” in four districts controlled by Democrats.
The biggest changes on this map:
-Trump won both profits from southern Texas (28 and 34) by ~ 10 points, but 28 is much closer to PVI
-New TX 9 takes from Texas 2 and 36 in Harris
-Parted al green and free TX 18 in one place (18), which is much closer, but not the same as … https://t.co/qwxskyxxfm– Brad Johnson (@bradj_TX) July 30, 2025
The map of Hunter changes 28 and 34. South Texas districts, which are in the possession of Democrats, but were won by President Donald Trump in 2024. This may cause problems for representatives of Democrats. Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar.
In addition, the map would probably launch one Austin Democrat from the House of Representatives.
Hunter’s proposal could force representatives. Greg Casar and Lloyd Doggett to compete over the redesigned 37th district, because the 35th Casar district is moved to the San Antonio region under redesign.
It could prepare the ground for the original battle between 36-year-old Casar, Ultralbejalny “Squad”-anallied Congressman, and 78-year-old Doggett, a more moderate member who has been in Congress since 1995.
Texas Tribune Reports that the map “will process four democratic districts” and created a completely renovated 9th district in the eastern part of Houston, “where the current member of the Congress is dead.”
Texas Tribune also noticed that “instead of being sitting Vice President Kamala Harris He won 44% in the current border, Trump would win by 15%. “
Additionally, the 32th Texas district, which is currently in possession Dallas-Area Democratic Rep. Julie Johnson, she would be stretched far to the east, most of the way to the border with Louisiana– –which would transform the municipal district into Semirurna, which Republicans could pick up in 2026.
