Redistricting Race Reshapes the 2026 House Maps

States are redrawing U.S. congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms, with Texas, California and others changing districts to gain or protect seats. The shifts could net a few House seats for either party (roughly 2 more for Democrats or 3 for Republicans), while lawsuits and potential Supreme Court action on the Voting Rights Act loom as the first March primaries approach.
