GOP redistricting can backfire with high Democtratic turnout. In south Texas, more Democrats voted in the 2026 Primary than in the 2024 Presidential Election. And recall how the Kansas GOP gerrymandered Sharice Davids’ district in 2022, yet she won re-election by a larger margin than last time.

Here's the description for the full video: The GOP are ahead in the redistricting war, but it may backfire nationally. MS NOW Elections Director Kabir Khanna says Republicans drawing out Democratic districts will, “add fuel to the fire in terms of engaging people and driving turnout,” when midterms usually have lower turnout. “There were in 2024 over 9 million skippers on the Democratic side in battleground states, not just southern states, but battleground states,” says Democratic pollster Celinda Lake. “Those voters are coming out.”
