Democrats vow a redistricting counterpunch but are facing hurdles Republicans don't
Democrats are expected to lag behind Republicans in the 2026 redistricting process for the U.S. House. They face significant hurdles, including self-imposed constraints and the need for voter approval to change established redistricting commissions. Despite these challenges, Democrats are still favored to gain control of the House in the upcoming elections, although the path to a majority in 2028 appears more difficult.

- ▪They must overcome redistricting hurdles that the GOP does not face, including constraints on drawing partisan lines.
- ▪Recent Supreme Court decisions have allowed Republicans to eliminate majority-Black House seats, complicating Democrats' efforts.
