In 2025, the Trump White House orchestrated a nationwide effort to strategically redraw congressional districts through mid-decade gerrymandering, targeting red states like Texas and Indiana to insulate Republican majorities ahead of the 2026 midterms, despite internal and external opposition, revealing a bold and controversial approach to electoral manipulation.
