Vice President JD Vance on Sunday said Republicans are only pursuing mid-decade redistricting to even the playing field against Democrats who are likewise engaging in gerrymandering. “All we’re doing,

We will continue to respond, when necessary, across the country,” the New York Democrat said. “Let’s see what comes next.”

Still, Jeffries isn't worried that Republican redistricting success would effectively hand the GOP control of the House in the 2026 midterms. Last time Trump was in office, Democrats flipped 41 seats, which would be more than enough to win the majority and make Jeffries speaker even if Republicans force through several more gerrymanders.
