President Trump recently expressed his approval of Texas Republicans for passing a significant redistricting bill, which could lead to the GOP gaining five additional seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. “Texas never lets us down. Florida, Indiana, and others are looking to do the same thing,” he stated, linking the increase in congressional representation to crime reduction, economic gains, and a firm Second Amendment stance.
The President called on Republicans to eliminate what he described as “fraud-ridden” mail-in voting and unreliable electronic voting machines. He advocated for a shift back to paper ballots, stating they are “one tenth the cost, faster, and more reliable.” Trump underscored that these changes could help Republicans secure up to 100 additional congressional seats in the future, making it clear that he views the current political landscape as “crooked.””>
On Monday, he highlighted his intention to lead a movement against mail-in ballots, labeling them as a “total fraud.” He pushed for the use of watermark paper ballots before it becomes “too late.” His comments on Truth Social echoed these sentiments, declaring a “big WIN for the Great State of Texas” with the passage of the redistricting bill and reiterating the positive impact this could have on rights, freedoms, and the overall stability of the nation.
The Texas House of Representatives’ approval of the redistricting plan is poised to boost Republican representation significantly. With the potential to hold 30 out of 38 congressional seats, this comes after Democrats fled to Illinois to avoid voting on a new map intended to reshape Texas districts. Their absence led to threats from state officials regarding arrests, ultimately compelling their return to vote.
The Texas State Senate is expected to fast-track approval of the new maps, sending the bill to the Governor for final approval. This rapid movement reflects the high stakes of legislative decisions that could reshape electoral dynamics in Texas and potentially impact national politics moving forward.
