Trump lays out his redistricting endgame: A 100 seat Republican majority

President Trump shared his ultimate voting reform goal in a Wednesday Truth Social post, saying he wants the GOP to pick up 100 congressional seats. Why it matters: Trump's unrealistic vision of a Republican supermajority in the House relies on a combination of GOP-led states redistricting out Democrats and ending mail-in balloting nationwide."If we do these TWO things, we will pick up 100 more seats, and the CROOKED game of politics is over," he wrote.Catch up quick: The Texas House on Wednesday passed a new congressional map that would give Republicans five more seats in the House.Other Republican-led states are expected to follow, with Democratic-led states responding in kind. What he's saying: "Texas never lets us down," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Florida, Indiana, and others are looking to do the same thing." "But Republicans, there is one thing even better," he added, "STOP MAIL-IN VOTING, a total fraud that has no bounds."Voter fraud is extremely rare, and states like Arizona and Oregon where voting by mail is common have challenged Trump's assertions.Between the lines: Trump this month re-upped his vitriol toward mail-in voting, calling it a "fraud" after his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He said he'd sign an executive order to bring "honesty" to the 2026 midterm elections, but the president doesn't have the constitutional authority to order states to abandon mail-in voting.Go deeper: Texas House passes redistricting map favoring Republicans
