Will Hammann and Gabby Birembaum report for The Texas Tribune on the well-deserved comeuppance directed at the Texas GOP by voters:
In 2025, Texas Republicans, pushed by President Donald Trump, redrew the state’s congressional map before the midterms, converting five Democratic-held districts into ones Trump would have carried by at least 10 percentage points.
The move backfired: GOP candidates lost four of five seats their new congressional map was designed to flip and lost two of their own. [emphasis added]
That means Texas Republicans will head to Washington in January with 24 U.S. House seats, one less than they had at the start of the current Congress. When the state Legislature in Austin pursued the controversial mid-decade gerrymander, Republicans had hoped for a 30-8 split in the delegation but will end up instead at 24-14.
