Former President Donald Trump's call for Republicans to redraw congressional districts before next year's election has sparked a wave of redistricting in states led by both parties. This move comes as Democrats need to gain only three seats to flip control of the House, and Trump hopes that changing the map can help Republicans in the midterms. Several states, including Texas, California, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, and Utah, have already put new district maps into place, facing legal challenges and opposition. Other states, such as Louisiana, Virginia, Indiana, and Kansas, are considering special sessions to discuss redistricting, while Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, New York, and Nebraska are weighing whether to change their district lines before the next national census. The upcoming election could significantly differ based on how these new political boundaries shake out.
