More redistricting bad news for Republicans: Texas may not net five GOP seats like they planned

2. The Indiana Lesson

The possible Texas scenario is precisely why the Indiana Republicans refused to redistrict. With the proposed new district lines, what was in theory a 9-0 romp next year for the Indiana congressional delegation might have been 6-3 in a blue wave. But keeping seven of the seats solidly GOP raises the odds that they can hold their own in '26. It was self-preservation on their part -- there was nothing especially "fair" about it. The Texans stupidly shot first before taking a more careful aim.
