Donald Trump is more unpopular than ever — and he’s scared.

So he’s trying to protect himself from the wrath of voters by demanding that Republican states rig Congressional maps ahead of this November’s midterms.  

Remember back in 2018, when Republicans lost 40 House seats under Trump? Republicans do — so now they’re chopping up Congressional districts to hold onto their razor-thin House majority. 

This gerrymandering war started when Trump begged Texas Republicans to draw new maps to get FIVE more GOP seats. California responded by approving new maps to counter the Texas power-grab seat for seat.

But now Republicans have gotten an additional boost from the right-wing majority on the Supreme Court, which gutted key parts of the Voting Rights Act that civil rights activists fought — and died — to secure. 

The high Court gave the greenlight to even more Republican-controlled states, like Tennessee and Louisiana, to draw new maps eviscerating districts where voters of color made up the majority, and had elected Democratic representatives.

All told, Republicans could end up netting themselves an up to 14-SEAT ADVANTAGE ahead of the 2026 midterms purely through this redistricting plot. 

So what can be done about it?

Republicans have an advantage on paper today, but there’s no guarantee that they hold onto the House in November. A huge blue wave could stem this red-gerrymandering tide — and remind Donald Trump just how unpopular he is. 

Plus we know Republican states aren’t going to stop there — the gerrymandering war will continue into 2028 and beyond. This is important.

Democrats must respond by fighting fire with fire — counterbalancing any future moves by Republicans.

Now, I’ll admit — I opposed gerrymandering in the past. And I’d continue to oppose it during normal times. But these are not normal times. 

If Republicans are changing the rules of the game, why should Democrats keep playing by the old rules?

What blue states must do is deter red states by neutralizing any political advantage they might get from redistricting by matching them seat for seat. No more. No less.

Blue states like Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Colorado should all redraw their Congressional maps by 2028. Others like Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania could do the same as long as Democrats win state trifectas this fall — which is all the more reason to head to the polls. 

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.
