BREAKING: Trump’s Redistricting Plan Just Backfired
from Defending Democracy with Marc Elias · host Democracy Docket
Donald Trump’s attempt to rig the House through mid-cycle redistricting is backfiring, with Democrats fighting back in court and potentially gaining seats instead of losing them. Today, Marc Elias breaks down where redistricting battles stand in Texas, California, Utah, New York, North Carolina, and Missouri—and why Trump is now escalating to voter suppression, ballot seizures, and threats to take over vote counting. He also explains how these moves fit into a broader pattern of election subversion and what’s at stake for free and fair elections in 2026.Support independent journalism:https://newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-youtubeStay informed with the latest news and political analysis:https://newsletters.democracydocket.com/youtubeFollow Democracy Docket:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/democracydocket.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/democracydocketFacebook: https://facebook.com/democracydocketX/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemocracyDocketTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@democracydocketThreads: https://www.threads.net/@democracydocket
