With just 11 days until the midterm election, Texas Democrats have a chance to win two key congressional seats in districts that President Donald Trump won by 10 points in 2024, a Washington Post-Schar School poll finds.
Texas' GOP may fail to flip most of the 5 Dem seats they gerrymandered in 2025, but this headline is misleading in a key way: The old map was still extremely gerrymandered.
Texas geography favors Dems. Absent gerrymandering, they could have won around 21/38 seats. They'll be lucky to win 13 in 2026
