Trump’s Redistricting Moves Give GOP a Shot at Holding the House
Breitbart ^ | 8 Jun 2026 | John Nolte

However you look at it, Trump won the redistricting war by picking up 16 seats to the Democrats’ pick up of just six — a net GOP gain of ten.

People laughed at President Trump when he began to push Republican-dominated states to do what Democrat-run states had already done decades ago: redistrict their state’s congressional seats to their partisan advantage. The usual-usuals among the Republican Party’s oh-so-smartest assured us this would backfire.

But Trump understood that Democrats had long ago redistricted to within an inch of their lives and that Republicans hadn’t. The advantage in that war could only go to the GOP.

You see, Illinois has 17 total congressional seats, and 14 are held by Democrats when only 54 percent of Illinoisans voted Democrat in the most recent statewide elections.

Maryland has eight congressional seats and seven go to Democrats, when Democrats only make up about 60 percent of the voting population.

New York has 26 congressional seats. Democrats hold 21 of those seats, even though the state is only about 55 percent Democrat.

And on and on it goes like that in Blue States, especially in the Northeast.

So Trump decided to act like a Democrat, and Democrats were so spooked that Virginia’s new Democrat governor, Abigail Spanberger, broke a major campaign promise not to redistrict. She tried. The state’s Democrats tried. They tried so hard that they broke the law. Thankfully, the State’s Supreme Court put a stop to it.

Trump had his own setback in Indiana, where squishy Republican state senators refused to redistrict. As always, Trump got the last word. Most of those state senators lost their primaries to Trump-backed candidates who will undoubtedly redistrict in time for the next round of U.S. House races in 2028.

Is this graphic somehow implying that the GOP may well gain seats in the upcoming House?

If we still have a shooting war with Iran on election day, the toss up seats will not go well for Republicans.

Yep. Several Southern states have further to go in getting rid of Majority Minority districts that they didn’t get rid of this time around. Then there’s Indiana and have we mentioned the seat the Democrats stole in Utah because the female judge was boinking the lawyer for the Democrats?

I loved it when the Commie beyotch governor of Massachusetts tried to sound tough and said she was going to redistrict to get even with the Red states that were redistricting. LOL! Massachusetts hasn’t elected a Republican Representative in over 30 years. Y’all gerrymandered as hard as you possibly could a generation ago. Do your worst there, honey. How many seats you think you can snatch for the Democrats? Oh wait......

Holding the House means Trump will not be impeached, that’s about it. It certainly doesn’t benefit the American taxpayers.

With a toss up of 18 then the odds aren’t good.

We cannot see the future. Trump always has a plan.

A shot? How kind of you! What was it that brought you to this conclusion? Was it the several issues like border security, lower taxes, the Democrats running an actual Nazi in Maine, a terrorist in New Jersy and a sick queer in California that parades naked in front of children? Or maybe the war against our American way of life and three attempts on our president’s life being wadged by thugs paid by Democrats or maybe their now all but broken cheat machine that failed to steal even one swing state? Or maybe the 8 to 1 money disadvantage the Democrats have with just 5 months to November,
Oh how about the the Democrats announcement that their priority is illegal aliens?
If all of these factors add up to Republicans “having a shot” to you you’re in the wrong business.

The bottom line is the decidedly lopsided enthusiasm gap. The democrats are poised to assault the polls. The GOPO doesn’t even seem to care.

What about the measures taken to prevent election fraud?
