A mid-decade redistricting effort led by Republicans is reshaping U.S. House districts in multiple states, potentially affecting control of the chamber in the November midterms.
- Republicans could gain up to 14 seats from new maps in Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, and Tennessee. - Democrats could gain up to 6 seats from new districts in California and Utah.
- Court challenges are ongoing in Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, Florida, and Tennessee over racial and partisan gerrymandering claims. - South Carolina's Senate halted its own redistricting effort, citing timing concerns.
The outcome of these legal battles and legislative actions will determine the final district lines for the 2026 midterm elections.
