The Texas House and Senate passed a new redistricting map for the Lone Star State that could give Republicans five seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. It awaits Governor Greg Abbott's signature. Democrats fought the measure. In retaliation, California Governor Gavin Newsom is seeking to redistrict his state to remove Republican seats. In his haste, he didn’t realize what reaction his actions would have on all red states in the U.S.
The red state of Kansas could be the next to redistrict, and many other Republican-heavy states could be quick to follow. (READ)
🚨 BREAKING: Now, lawmakers in the RED STATE OF KANSAS are becoming interested in joining the 2026 redistricting fight - seeking to add a Republican seat for Congress.

If all of the red states add up - Texas, Florida, Missouri, Ohio, Kansas and others - it will *easily* cancel… pic.twitter.com/X6p8uRsaci
(post continues) ...cancel out Gavin. DO IT! Kansas is ruby red.
The vibe shift is incredible. We need every seat we can get to save the country.

Republicans going on the offensive is certainly something new.
Newsom and other noisy Democrats may have opened a Pandora’s box of red state redistricting due to their ignorant shortsightedness.

How many seats would it add if all those red states redistricted?
— Super Journalist (Retired) - JOURN-EL of Skrypton (@Magnum_CK) August 23, 2025
Florida 3-5

Ohio 2-3
Everything else Red would be 1-2
ALL should do it. ALL.

Democrats didn’t do the math.
One poster says that if Kansas redistricts, it would replace one Democrat seat with a Republican one.

As California Democrats push the limits of their state’s redistricting law, Kansas Republicans—armed with a legislative supermajority and the power to override… pic.twitter.com/gBgT5W5aC4
(post continues) ...the governor’s veto—could pursue similarly bold tactics. The real hurdle lies with the Democrat-leaning state Supreme Court: while state law strongly favors the GOP should they redraw maps, partisan dynamics on the bench could ultimately block a new map. District breakdown:
KS01 (Mann, R): R+31.1 R+14.0
KS02 (Schmidt, R): R+19.4 R+14.6
KS03 (Davids, D): D+4.1 R+14.5
KS04 (Estes, R): R+23.6 R+22.3
Love this map

We like it, too!
Commenters are encouraging their red states to redistrict.
Do it Kansas!

Let's do it, Missouri!

Please do the same in Nebraska!

I hope Tennessee jumps in the mix. We have one elected Dem in this state. Might as well make it zero.

This needs to be a litmus test for red states. If you aren’t redistricting to maximize GOP control then you don’t deserve to be serving in GOP politics. It’s that simple. They already failed the first time. This is their shot to play hardball like the Dems.
— CAtoTX32 (@CAtoTX32) August 22, 2025
The good thing for republicans is that there are many states in which they can still add seats. Democrats have pretty much maxed out when you took advantage of redistricting in 2017/2021.

Democrats didn’t think this through. Most blue states are maxed out when it comes to redistricting. There are no Republican seats to erase. Red states, on the other hand, could wipe out at least a dozen Democrat seats if they grow a spine and play by the rules Democrats have established and redistrict their states to the max.
