Republicans are pursuing a mid-decade redistricting strategy aimed at gaining between 12 and 15 additional seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Key states targeted include Texas with 5 seats, Florida with 3 to 5 seats, Ohio with 2 to 3 seats, Missouri with 1 seat, and Indiana with 1 seat. This push has sparked significant political battles, particularly in Texas, where the redistricting effort is intensifying partisan competition. Senate Republicans are also focusing on protecting vulnerable incumbents, notably Texas Senator John Cornyn, who trails his GOP primary opponent Ken Paxton by double digits. The Senate Leadership Fund plans to invest tens of millions of dollars to support Cornyn's campaign amid polling that indicates he is at risk of losing his seat. Meanwhile, Texas Democrats see the redistricting and GOP primary turmoil as an opportunity to increase their influence, with expectations of substantial Democratic financial investment. The redistricting conflict in Texas has led to efforts by the GOP to limit Democratic resistance, highlighting the high stakes of the mid-decade redistricting process.
