More Big Moves by the GOP to Hold the House – RedState

President Johnson seems very optimistic these days, saying that the GOP “would challenge history when we increase the majority in the House” in 2026.

The speaker clearly refers to the announcement of the new Texas Gop redistribution plan for the seats of the American chamber in Texas, which was announced recently and could change an edge of the Democrat House delegation of 25 Republicans at 13 Democrats to the edge of 30 Republican with 8 Democrats. It would be a net gain of 5 seats, if the five new seats which are all two-digit pro-Trump vote the Republican. But many depends on the question of whether the Hispanic voters of these districts continue their electoral march towards the GOP.

This is not the only redistribution plan on which Johnson could count. We are also waiting for Ohio Gop Redistrict, which can only 2 or 3 additional seats. It is also possible that the Republicans were registered in Indiana, Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, New Hampshire and Florida. It is only in Florida that the GOP could collect more than one seat, although it is unlikely to be as important as the possible change in Texas, because the Republicans currently have an advantage of 20 to 8 in the Florida delegation.

Democrats, of course, cry out in a false partisan scandal about Gerrymandering, but, in Texas, the new districts are in fact more compact and geographically logical than the old districts, and the new map also includes more Hispanic majority districts. In addition, the Democrats themselves instituted ridiculous Gerrymanders in California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Oregon, New Mexico and Nevada, sometimes by wealthy means, it is therefore difficult to take their objections seriously.

Although Democrats have sworn to respond in their own states, it seems little to accomplish a lot, with only a district gop from Maryland in all danger.

Be that as it may, this clearly shows that the GOP has a page of the GOP experience in 2002, once in recent years, when the majority party has shaken the curse curse, by redistiff a crucial part of the Trump campaign plan to hold the American house.

The entire Trump plan now seems to be:

1. Push the redistribution of the GOP – See above;

2. Minimize pensions – The Trump team “directed republican candidates in house races in Iowa, Michigan and New York” to present themselves to other offices and thus open their potentially vulnerable districts;

3. Spending big – the GOP continues to spend large sums of money to protect its majority, but not quite that Democrats. We do not know how the affiliated external groups spend however;

4. Remove the main challengers from the table – Approving the members for their seats at home early, Trump makes it difficult for another republican to challenge the holder;

5. Earning GOB More money – The GOP has scored the Democrats from the two national committees concerned;

6. Recruitment of rise in power;

7. Push certain problems – by taking a page from 1998, the only other time recent than the majority party has shaken the curse, the GOP plans to attack the Democrats of the Chamber to the indictment (I am happy to have suggested that 😊). Given the great hatred emanating from Democrats concerning Trump, it seems likely that many individual individual democratic candidates will come out for another dismissal, even if the Senate will never withdraw the president.

External factors also seem to be playing in the optimism of President Johnson.

• “The American economy has increased at a rate of 3% in T2, a better than expected pace …” If it is held, and if the United States is not engaged in a long -term conflict – despite the wishes of the leftists and the awakened right – it barely makes a blue wave in the house.

• Returning to the average of the RCP, the Donald Trump approval rating increased to 46.3% approval to 51.4% disapproval. So much for the supposed to be on the ONE Big Beautiful Bill, the Epstein scandal, the attack in Iran, the dismissals of the workers of the federal government, the deportations of the criminals, etc. And, as hot air and I have commented before, the real average is always more favorable to the presidency of Trump.

• Democrats cannot stop fighting Donald Trump on each issue, including the problems of ’80/20 ‘that favor him. The GOP should continue to take advantage of it, especially on immigration and deportations.

• Democrats cannot stop hating / complaining about Trump in public, and has castigated their own party leadership for not having acted so bellically, despite the way it seems to be updating for moderates and non-partists. I have developed this point several times in my series of doom loop columns, but here is a democratic consultant saying the same thing and begging his party to stop acting like humans. I suspect that the Democrats will not learn this lesson in 2026, however (it took them 12 years to learn to stop running frank and weak leftist against the GOP in the 1980s).

• Curiously, after stating that he was going to challenge the Republicans and the Democrats with a third of deficits-Do-Matter, Elon Musk decided to give a large part of his money to Gop Super Pacs. It is the intelligent game, although this stage, I have no idea what Musk will do next, so he could certainly change his strategy again.

Keep in mind that the GOP only needs to limit their losses to two seats in the house to keep control of this room (all additional seats are simply sauce). If the Republicans collect a considerable number of seats in redistribution, and that there is no recession, since the GOP is not in a bad place in the boom and hotness cycle of the house, it is very feasible.
