NPR: The fight is on. How redistricting could unfold in 8 entangled states
President Trump sparked a national sprint to redistrict when he asked Texas Republicans to draw five more congressional seats for the GOP in their state ahead of next year's elections.
In response, Democratic and Republican leaders in at least seven other states have said they're open to moving their political lines in the fight over the U.S. House, but that means very different things in different places.
States are often bound by constitutional language and laws that dictate how redistricting happens. And time is running out for maps to be set ahead of the 2026 midterms.
To see how likely redistricting is before then, we asked reporters in the NPR Network to explain what's going on in their states.
