As the 2026 midterm elections approach, U.S. House campaigns are ramping up, but they are overshadowed by a contentious redistricting battle sparked by Donald Trump. With only a small percentage of House seats considered competitive, both major parties, particularly Democrats, are seeking to reshape district maps to their advantage. The struggle has led to numerous court battles across the country, raising questions about the integrity of the electoral process. The shifting political landscape, fueled by population migrations and partisan interests, suggests a chaotic atmosphere as lawmakers strive to redraw congressional districts before the elections. The outcomes of these redistricting efforts may significantly influence which party controls the House of Representatives, highlighting the stakes of this ongoing political tug of war.
