Article Context
Democrats won several congressional districts that Republicans had redrawn last year to favor their party ahead of the midterms. The article says Republicans undertook mid-decade redistricting at Trump's urging in states including Florida, North Carolina, Alabama, and Texas, expecting the 2024 Trump voter coalition to hold. Instead, the article reports, many redrawn districts went to Democrats, including seats in Texas won by voter gains among Latino voters that shifted to Democrats this year.
