Trump and Johnson face escalating GOP revolt on redistricting

A growing number of House Republicans from blue states are speaking out against their party’s mid‑decade redistricting efforts, fearing they could lose their own seats. Their opposition marks a break with Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Trump, who support GOP‑led map redraws in states like Texas to gain more House seats. Reps. Kevin Kiley (R‑Calif.), Mike Lawler (R‑N.Y.), and Nicole Malliotakis (R‑N.Y.) have criticized the move and introduced or plan to introduce legislation to ban mid‑decade redistricting, Axios has reported. Their push comes amid Democratic threats to retaliate with gerrymandering in states like New York and California.
