GOP eyes decade-long edge in map-drawing as redistricting wars heat up

Republicans are positioning for a multi-year, potentially decade-long edge in drawing congressional maps, driven by the Supreme Court’s Callais ruling that curbs protections for majority-minority districts and by ongoing state redistricting ahead of 2027. Indiana and other GOP-led states are preparing new maps, while Democrats vow court challenges; the broader aim is to curb a durable Democratic House majority in the 2020s and beyond, with the fight likely continuing into 2028.
