Some GOPer’s ARE Gung Ho to collect MORE House Districts…
BUT?
The 2026 Midterm Elections politics ain’t THAT simple….
President Trump is NOT popular and Republicans are NOT doing good in elections since Trump srated his second term…
And?
He ain’t running for anythiing anymore….
They ARE…
Last week was chock-full of redistricting news, with Indiana Republicans attempting — again — to move ahead with a map that could eliminate the two Democratic–leaning districts of members of Congress in the state, the Supreme Court allowing Texas’s redistricting plan, and Florida Republicans considering cutting up three Democratic districts in the onetime swing state.
These Republican efforts are being pushed by Trump and his team to try to maintain the Republican majority in the House in the midterms. And Democrats are responding in kind.…

Worried Republicans say basing redistricting on the 2024 election is a sizable leap, both because Trump’s coalition has not shown a willingness to show up when he isn’t on the ballot and polls show Trump is hemorrhaging support from key groups in his unique coalition.
“I am not confident that that Trump coalition in a midterm election is going to stay with Republicans,” said Annalyse Keller, a Republican operative and partner at Seven Letter, while on Meet the Press Now. “There might be a chance that some of this backfires.”
Keller is not alone. Other Republicans have been publicly and privately worrying that redistricting for partisan gain might work in an election where their party is slated to do well. But Republicans are moving Republican support from GOP-friendly districts to make these new districts lean more toward the GOP, effectively making former stronghold districts more competitive — the opposite, say these Republicans, of what a party should do ahead of an election that is expected to go against them.
At the heart of these concerns are Latino voters, who are central to the Texas redistricting plan and were expected to be key to whatever Republicans decide to do in Florida.
Trump made inroads with Latino voters in 2024, especially with Latino men, which helped propel him to victory in key battleground states. But Trump’s standing with Latino voters has fallen off a cliff in recent months. A Pew Research Center survey in November found 70 percent of Latinos “disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president,” and 61 percent said “Trump’s economic policies have made economic conditions worse,” a notable finding because the economy was a primary reason 43 percent of Latino voters backed Trump in 2024…

“So if someone is redistricting and they are trying to draw Republican performances based on Trump-Harris characteristics, they are going to be wrong in 2026, because 2025 has already shown us this.”…
Note…
This is only one of the many posts I have , or will be doing pointing to the FACT that Trump & Co. seem to be sabtoaging their own parties ability to win elections ….
