SEN TOMMY TUBERVILLE, MORGAN MURPHY: Republicans must win the map war once and for all

Republicans didn’t commencement this decade’s redistricting fight. But we should decorativeness it.

States traditionally redraw districts lone aft the decennial census. In 2022 and again successful 2024, Democrats fired the archetypal salvos by gerrymandering New York, yet flipping 4 Republican seats successful the Empire State.

Texas countered successful 2025, redistricting a summation of 2 to 5 seats for the GOP. A large howl went up from Democrats — and overmuch of the nation’s left-leaning media — claiming President Trump and Republicans initiated a redistricting warfare and challenging its legality. Thankfully, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Texas’s determination constitutional, with Justice Alito noting the information was "pure and simple" partisan advantage.

VIRGINIA DEM ADMITS REDISTRICTING PUSH AIMS TO 'STOP TRUMP', NOT ABOUT 'FAIRNESS'

After all, contempt sizable Republican minorities, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, Hawaii, and Delaware each nonstop zero Republicans to Congress.

Democrats look to lone hatred gerrymandering erstwhile Republicans bash it.

Last year, Indiana’s Republican bulk declined to redistrict — a determination that could person yielded 2 further Republican House seats. Perhaps they believed they were mounting a noble bipartisan example.

Virginia blew that mentation retired of the Tidewater.

The Old Dominion presently sends six Democrats and 5 Republicans to the House. New lines person squiggled 5 districts into the Washington, D.C. area, threatening to destruct 4 of the 5 Republican seats.

"Democrats did not measurement back. We fought back," crowed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. If Republicans instrumentality to a cautious playbook, Virginia’s gambit volition apt manus Democrats the House successful November.

Think connected that. A Democrat-controlled House means much impeachments, much sham investigations, much authorities shutdowns, and 2 years of gridlock to adjacent retired President Trump’s presidency.

Strong Republicans aren’t rolling aft the nonaccomplishment successful Virginia.

Florida is expected to redraw its map, flipping betwixt 2 and 5 seats this cycle.

Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled race-based gerrymandering unconstitutional successful Louisiana v. Callais arsenic galore arsenic 15 seats could plaything to the GOP — if Republican-led states really act.

Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee could each maximize their Republican representation. Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina, and Texas could each spell deeper red.

Our ain authorities of Alabama — which voted for President Trump by 65 percent successful 2024 — by each rights should nonstop an wholly Republican delegation to Washington.

Now that the tribunal has ruled, Alabama’s lawyer wide and caput of authorities indispensable record a question to vacate the national territory tribunal injunction that locked successful the existent representation done 2030. The statement is straightforward: the injunction was issued nether a ineligible model that nary longer exists, making its continued enforcement inequitable.

A swift lifting of that injunction would let the politician to telephone a peculiar league for reapportionment. Both chambers indispensable walk a caller representation — a process Alabama completed successful a azygous week successful 2021 — earlier the politician signs it into law. Because the regular superior filing deadline has passed, the legislature should simultaneously authorize a legislature peculiar predetermination with reopened campaigner qualifying. New nominees indispensable beryllium certified by the Secretary of State nary aboriginal than August 24th to look connected the November wide predetermination ballot.

In a state wherever lone 20 House seats are genuinely competitive, 2 much Republicans from Alabama could mean the quality betwixt gridlock and advancing President Trump’s agenda.
