Episode Details

As midterms loom, politicians are already scheming for 2028, racing to redraw congressional districts before the ink is dry on this year’s maps. With ten states already locked in a redistricting battle affecting 40% of Americans, the Supreme Court just handed some states—especially those with large minority populations—a green light to reshape boundaries. Republicans aim for ten new House seats, but history and current polls suggest Democrats may actually gain ground. A slim win for either party could trigger even more gerrymandering ahead. States like New York and Maryland are moving to bypass commissions or change laws, while Colorado voters might decide via ballot measure. Meanwhile, GOP strongholds like Georgia, Indiana, and South Carolina are quietly preparing, and swing states like Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin await election outcomes that could tip the redistricting power. Even Mississippi and Illinois are eyeing changes before 2027. The race for 2028 is already being drawn in the margins of this year’s elections.
