More from the article...

... "We have an opportunity in Texas to pick up five seats. We have a really good governor, and we have good people in Texas. And I won Texas," Trump told CNBC's Squawk Box.

"I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you probably know, and we are entitled to five more seats." ...

Texas 2-year term. Election Cycle 2026, 2028. No Term Limit.

53.1%

Colin Allred
D
5,031,249
44.6%

Ted Brown

Texas already has disproportionally given R's house seats. They should have 55%. Based on Trump V Harris it would be 56%.
Trump and his magic calculator.

My concern is Pres Trump's use of the word "entitled."

Texas has about 10% more republican voters than democrat voters. And the state legislature already has gerrymandered a supermajority wildly disproportionate to the electorate. But that's not ewough now?

Fuhkh those guys. I want CA and NY and IL to super-gerrymander their states, NOW.
