A redistributed weapon race Heat As other states follow Texas’s leadership in re -starting their Congress lines before the midnight of 2026.
Many Democratic and Republican Governors have expressed interest in their states that they are conducting their own redistribution process to connect several seats for their parties and can increase the possibility that their party may win the control of the House next year. But will they be able to depend on the state and their own unique rules.
Here seven states are most likely to follow Texas in redistribution:
Ohio
Ohio is the only state in the country, even including Texas, already guarantees to rebuild its district lines because it is in a different position than others.
State MPs are Necessary To approve a new map further of midterms, because the current map, since 2022, was approved by a simple majority with party lines instead of bipartisan supermascularity only. But firmly under the control of both houses of the Republican State Legislature, the party is still likely to take some seats with the next map.
Two Democratic MPs are most likely to lose their seats in this process. Therefore, while Republican has already occupied 10 of the 15 house seats, which Ohio has, they can still pick up something else.
California
California village. Gavin Newsome (D) has certainly been the most visible democrats in response to the Republican’s efforts to use the redistribution, and the Golden State Party seems to have the best opportunity that the most seats if Texas sanctions a new map.
The process of rebuilding its lines in time for 2026 midnight for California is a bit complicated – but is possible. The state has an independent redistribution commission that determines its district lines, but Newsom Confirmed on friday The state will proceed with a special election in November that will allow them to create a new map for the remaining decade.
The Independent Commission will remain intact for reconstruction after the 2030 census, and a new map will be used only when Texas or any other state has rebuilt its lines first. But assuming that Texas is committed to redistribution, newsom and state Democrats Go ahead A plan that can bring his party to five seats.
Florida
Sun is another important source of potential benefits for GOP through state redistribution, and gov. Ron desantis (R) has been done Rapid signal State GOP at the footsteps of Texas to connect more Republican seats.
Florida State House President Daniel Perez (R) Announced On Thursday that he will create a redistribution committee, which is associated with possible maps and legal questions to find out how the lines are drawn. But he did not specify the timeline for redistribution, saying that the members of the committee would be announced next month.
But some democrats can be targeted if the process proceeds, including reps. Debbie Wasraman Shults, Jreds Moscovitz and Darren Soto. And the Republicans are particularly felt that the Supreme Court of the state upheld the current map against the claims of racial Germandering.
Indiana
Along with large-tick states that can give GOP several additional seats, Trump administration is also putting pressure on small states that can purify only one seat.
Vice -president Viewed IndianaPolis to discuss the mid -decade redistribution for a meeting with Indiana village Mike Braun (R) on Thursday. Braun did not commit to redistribution after the meeting, but he left the door open.
Meanwhile, Trump’s associates were allegedly exploring alternatives in Indiana at the end of last month. Braun will need to call a special session of the legislature and Republican will have to move quickly, but the party has a supermascularity.
If approved, a new map is most likely that Frank Mrvan (D-Ind.) In the northwest part of the state.
Missouri
Missouri is another state where Republican theoretically can take out another Democratic-Agered seat if party members want to move forward.
The administration has also pressurized the GOP in the state, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) with a possible target, but the reaction of state MPs is mixed. State House Speaker Pro Tempor Chad Perkins initially expressed doubt about early redistribution, but he Show off More openness for this after receiving calls from the White House.
But State Senate President Prof. Tempor Cindy O’Loglin told the Missouri Independent that he too was not very keen on the plan, and Perkins expressed concern about the potential backlash to Gov Mike Keho (R), who called a particular session.
New york
New York Democrats look as a bus determined As his California has equivalent to counterparts to update his district lines, but the possibility of being able to update them before next year’s elections seems thin.
The Empire uses an independent commission to pull its lines, with approval from the State State Legislature. State MPs may propose a constitutional amendment to voters to change the system, but any amendment needs to be passed by the voters in two consecutive sessions of the legislature before it is proposed.
This would mean that no change can be effective before the 2028 elections. But the village is Kathy Hocul (D) Mortgage To see all available options, accept the lack of time and want a sharp timeline.
He said that the independent commission should be dissolved or replaced, and he would also see the options of litigation.
new Jersey
Garden will be an ideal place for State Democrats to try to get one or two seats, but the obstacles made will not be made possible in front of midperm.
The New Jersey also has an independent commission that MPs will need to go around to create a new map, but its state constitution also prohibits the reconstruction of Middle-Dusk.
Both of these can be overcome with a constitutional amendment, and Democrats have a comfortable control of both houses of the state legislature, but there is a possibility that there is not enough time to change it in advance.
The public needs a three -month notice period before voting on the amendment, which means that it was last Monday deadline To pass it before the election day on 4 November.
