$20 Million Super PAC Campaign Targets Florida GOP in Redistricting Session

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas called a special session of the GOP-dominated state legislature to pass a new congressional map. Democratic state lawmakers in Texas broke quorum for two weeks by fleeing the state to delay the passage of the redistricting bill.

Democrats reclaimed the House majority in the 2018 midterms during Trump's first term. California voters passed Proposition 50 in November 2025. Proposition 50 temporarily sidetracked California's nonpartisan redistricting commission and returned power to draw congressional maps to the Democratic-dominated legislature.

Proposition 50 is expected to result in five more Democratic-leaning congressional districts in California. Republican-controlled Missouri, Ohio, and North Carolina have drawn new congressional maps. A Utah district judge rejected a congressional district map drawn by the state's GOP-dominated legislature late last year and approved an alternate map.

The alternate Utah map will create a Democratic-leaning district. Republicans in Indiana's Senate shot down a redistricting bill in December that had passed the state House. Virginia's Democrat-supported redistricting referendum passed by a narrow three-point margin this week.

The Virginia referendum, if it clears legal hurdles, could give the Democrat-controlled legislature temporary redistricting power through the 2030 election, rather than the current nonpartisan commission. Democrats currently hold a 6-5 edge in Virginia's congressional delegation. The Virginia referendum could result in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in Virginia's congressional delegation.

Early voting for the Virginia redistricting referendum occurred on March 31, 2026, at the Ellen M. Bozman Government Center in Arlington, Va. Signs urged early voters to vote yes or no on the Virginia redistricting referendum at the Ellen M.
