States Race to Redraw Maps for 2028
Description
As midterms loom, states are already plotting redistricting for 2028—ten states have already begun reshaping congressional maps, impacting 40% of Americans. Sparked by Trump-era GOP pushes and a recent Supreme Court ruling favoring partisan gerrymandering, Republicans aim for up to ten House gains, though history and Trump’s approval ratings could tilt the odds toward Democrats. If either party wins narrowly, expect even more aggressive redrawing. Democrats are quietly preparing too: New York seeks mid-decade redistricting, Maryland and Colorado are exploring voter input, while New Jersey and Virginia consider constitutional tweaks. Republicans aren’t idle either—Georgia, Indiana, and South Carolina are testing the waters, with Kansas and Indiana’s Trump-aligned wins opening doors. In swing states like Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, the 2026 elections could set the stage for massive map changes. Even Illinois, once resistant, is keeping options open. The race for 2028 is already being drawn in the shadows.
