Overview
- Last week’s Supreme Court decision let Texas implement a new congressional map that analysts say could net Republicans up to five seats.
- Indiana’s House advanced a map that could wipe out Democrats’ two seats, but GOP senators reportedly lack votes as Trump allies ramp up threats of primary challenges and lawmakers report harassment.
- California voters approved Proposition 50, a Democratic map that Politico reports could flip several GOP-held seats and has Republican incumbents competing for fewer favorable districts.
- Democratic governors agreed to make cost of living the centerpiece of 2026 campaigns, pointing to gains in New Jersey and Virginia and a sharply narrowed margin in a Tennessee House special election.
- Turnover is accelerating with roughly 40 House members not seeking reelection, and TPR reports the closely divided chamber and shifting maps could change control depending on pending votes and litigation.
