Former President Donald Trump used a social-media post on Tuesday to insist that Texas is not poised to swing Democratic, calling reports of the state "going blue" a "Democrat lie." He cited his 2020 victory margin of roughly 1.5 million votes, or nearly 14 percentage points, and noted that he carried every county on the Mexican border—something he said had not happened before. Trump’s remarks come as Texas lawmakers prepare for a special session on congressional and legislative redistricting, a process that could influence electoral maps for the next decade. Republicans control both chambers of the Legislature and hold every statewide office, but demographic growth in urban and suburban areas has fueled speculation that Democrats could eventually be competitive in presidential and statewide races. The former president’s comments underscore the stakes of the upcoming redistricting fight and signal that national Republicans remain focused on preserving their advantage in the nation’s second-largest state as attention turns to the 2026 midterm and 2028 presidential cycles.
