Members of Texas’ Republican congressional delegation met on Monday to discuss the prospect of redistricting to try and tilt the state further in the GOP’s favor before the 2026 midterm elections.
The lawmakers left the meeting not enthused about the prospect, according to a person familiar with their thinking. The New York Times reported earlier that the White House’s political team had encouraged the delegation to consider such a measure.
