美选区重划：得州共和党得手 加州民主党拟反击

Core Points - The Texas House of Representatives passed a redistricting bill, making Texas the first state to do so, which could help the Republican Party gain seats in the House of Representatives for the 2026 midterm elections [1][3] - The new district map aims to merge several Democratic strongholds, reducing the number of districts controlled by Democrats and diluting their influence by incorporating conservative voters into these areas [1][3] - The bill requires coordination with a previously passed version in the Texas Senate and must be signed by Governor Greg Abbott to take effect, which is expected given Republican control [1][3] Political Reactions - Texas Democratic Representative John Bucy expressed deep concern over the bill, labeling it a "Trump map" designed to create more seats for Republicans, indicating a shift towards authoritarianism [2] - Following the bill's passage, Texas Democrats had previously attempted to block it by leaving the state, but they have since returned and are considering similar actions in California [3] Broader Implications - Currently, Republicans hold a narrow majority in the House with 219 seats to 212, and successful redistricting in Texas could further solidify their position ahead of the midterms [3] - Other Republican-led states like Ohio, Missouri, and Indiana may look to replicate Texas's redistricting strategy [3] - California's Democratic leadership plans to counteract the Texas redistricting by proposing a special vote to seek voter approval for their own redistricting efforts [3][5]
