President Donald Trump Texas lawmakers’ recognition of a detailed redivision plan is being called, adding up to five new Republican congressional seats to a “major victory” for Republicans.
Trump sent a post to the country through the Truth Society, saying that victory is not just a national victory, but a national turning point. He continued to urge other Republican-led states to follow the leadership of Lone Star State.
“The great power of Texas! Everything is over! Everything is over, in our way to five congressional seats, save your rights, freedoms, your country and your country itself. Texas will never let us down. Florida, Indiana and others are all seeking the same thing. More and more seats equal fewer crimes, great economy, a great economy and a strong Second Amendment. That means happiness and peace,” he said.

Trump also suggested moving in this direction, and if they follow suit, the National Republican Party could provide up to 100 seats for the National Republican Party.
“But, the Republicans have one better thing – stop mail-in voting, with no boundaries at all. Also, do paper ballots before it’s too late – at one tenth of the cost, faster speeds and more reliable reliability. If we do both, we’ll pick 100 seats and the misrepresented political game is about to end.
Texas Republicans Wednesday’s vote of 88-52 parties pushed the new Congress map to the state capitol, abandoning Democratic opposition to strengthen Republican holdings of the 2026 Congress.

When Trump celebrates the re-division as a major victory for the Republican Party, Democrats see it as the beginning of a larger legal battle.
“This part of the fight is over, but it’s just the first chapter… Our best shot is in court. It’s not over. We’re going to keep fighting.”
Texas House Democrats also accused Republicans of trying to dilute minority voting rights, saying the map was illegal and racially discriminatory.

“Members, see how this illegal and manipulated, decade-old rezoning plan divides our state and our country,” said Rep. Chris Turner, Democratic Congressman. “It’s Texas, not the impulse of outside politicians in Washington, D.C. and its supporters of billionaires shouldn’t decide what we do in this room.”
“From the beginning, the process was a total dummy…it was a racist force grab, especially after our African American and Latino representatives,” said Rep. Jon Rosenthal.
Republicans defended the necessary conditions for reflecting population growth and protecting voter representatives.
“I tell you, I tell you, I’m not jumping in the bushes,” Rep. Todd Hunter said of the map’s goal. “We have five new areas, which are based on political performance.”

California State Government Gavin Newsom California Democrats launched their new map last week to invalidate the map created by Republicans in Sept. If the bill passes, it will create five new Democratic congressional districts to offset Texas.
The duel map highlights the high-risk battle to control the house, with both sides using re-divisions in an attempt to lock in their own strengths by 2026.
