Texas GOP redistricting push seen as political miscalculation
Original: From Justin Miller: Last summer's move by # Republicans to redistrict # Texas , under marching orders from Pres. Trump,
Texas Observer writer Justin Miller argues that last summer's Republican effort to redraw Texas congressional maps, carried out on President Trump's instructions, was viewed at the time as a politically risky move. In hindsight, he says, the party badly misjudged the backlash, and the redistricting push is now being framed as a self-inflicted political error.
Why now: Ongoing debate over the fallout from Texas Republicans' Trump-driven redistricting push and whether it backfired politically.
