4:36Now PlayingHow Redistricting Backfired On Republicans - Two New Districts in Texas Won by Democrats
A shift in California politics reveals the consequences of the national redistricting battle initiated by Donald Trump. After a demand for more Republican friendly districts, California responded by redrawing its own maps to create five additional Democratic strongholds. This move has pushed longtime Congressman Daryl Issa into retirement and forced Kevin Kiley to run for reelection as an independent in a desperate bid to keep his seat. Meanwhile, the strategy used by Texas Republicans to capitalize on previous Hispanic voter trends has completely backfired. Recent polling shows that the gains made with Hispanic and Latino voters have evaporated, resulting in Democrats winning three of the five new districts in Texas.
By diluting existing safe Republican districts to create these new seats, the GOP has left its incumbents vulnerable to massive swings toward Democrats seen in recent special elections. This trend suggests an incredibly challenging midterm season ahead as the redistricting gamble fails to deliver the expected results for the government. Hawk examines how these map changes are reshaping the House of Representatives and leaving the Republican brand in a precarious position.
