President Donald Trump and his allies are charging ahead with plans to try to redraw the congressional map in red states beyond Texas, pressuring GOP lawmakers to act and setting up an all-out push for political advantage that will be difficult for Democrats to match ahead of the midterms.

Texas state Rep. Gene Wu joined a private strategy call on Thursday with Democratic leaders from other GOP-led states that might also redraw their maps.

Texas Republicans pass redistricting map creating 5 new GOP-leaning congressional seats despite Democratic objections about minority voting power dilution.

If approved by voters, the California redistricting could nullify five new U.S. House seats Republicans are expected to gain from a new redistricting map in Texas.

The California Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected an attempt by Republican legislators to delay Democrats from gerrymandering the state’s congressional districts. The justices said the emergency petition, filed earlier this week, “failed to meet their burden of establishing a basis for relief at this time under” the California Constitution.

State party vice chair Jennifer Bukowsky said she expects a special session when district lines are decided by national Republicans.

Doggett and fellow Rep. Greg Casar's two heavily Democratic seats were shrunk into one in the Republican gerrymander.

Democrats and voting rights advocates have denounced the redistricting effort, which is designed to give the GOP five more seats in the U.S. House.
