Yes starts. ie He initiated this last year, normally these are done every 10 years

(*Yeah I know I dont like some of the sources either, but ignoring the facts is just being dishonest)

*I'm not picking sides in the redistricting. I simply stated that Trump and the Republicans are in trouble and defending the poorly researched accusation that the story about Trump "starting" the redistricting battle in an off year was somehow false.


Maybe research

What to know about redistricting efforts across US at Trump's prodding

President Donald Trump's desire to secure the Republican majority in Congress has led to a mid-decade redistricting battle among states.

Current news articles. Trump merely did what Dems have done for decades. To say this "started" with Trump is just false and ignores decades-old Democrat-gerrymandered districts in many states.

Yes gerrymandering on both sides has been around for a long time. It’s not unique to Democrats by any stretch.

Last year in an off year, Trump urged Republicans not to wait and to step up redistricting ahead of the 2026 midterms.

You really should read the links I supplied

Trump “started” this recent round of redistricting.

It doesn’t matter. It appears Republicans are set to lose bigly.

correction: Trump merely did what Dems both sides have done for decades.

True, it's been going on... but this is a "new" unscheduled round sought by Trump, because he says he's "entitled" to it... even Fox News Contributor Ari Fleischer described it as "started" yesterday...

Voting districts typically are redrawn once a decade, after each census. But President Donald Trump triggered an unusual round of mid-decade redistricting last year when he urged Texas Republicans to redraw House districts to give the GOP an edge in the midterm elections. California Democrats reciprocated, and redistricting efforts soon cascaded across states.

Texas redistricting plan unlikely to add 5 new Republican seats | Brookings

Texas’ mid-decade redistricting could backfire, with shifting Latino support and political headwinds likely limiting Republican House gains.

www.brookings.edu

In 2025, Texas ignited the national redistricting fire that has swept across the country from California to Virginia. The Texas redistricting was initiated by President Trump requesting that Texas create five new Republican U.S. House seats for the midterm elections. However, the resulting plan will almost certainly not yield five new Republican seats. It will most likely add only two seats, and in a perfect electoral storm for Democrats, Republicans could actually lose seats.
