The Supreme Court is set to decide on a case that could lead to 19 more solid GOP seats in the House if the ruling swings in Republicans’ favor.
The ruling could almost guarantee a Republican majority for the foreseeable future.
The high court plans to rehear Louisiana v. Callais.
The case that challenges section 2, the provision that prevents racial gerrymandering if the result would dilute minority votes in that district.
In other words, it’s currently illegal to redistrict a majority black or Hispanic district so that it stops being a majority district for that race.
It’s a form of affirmative action for voting.
However, liberals are worried the court will rule to strike it down.
Most majority of black or Hispanic districts vote Democrat.
As such, the provision benefits Democrats.
If it is struck down, experts estimate that Republicans will net 19 House seats.
The extra seats could be enough to keep the GOP in the majority in 2026 and beyond.
Nevertheless, the court probably won’t rule on the case before primaries for the midterms in 2026, so changes will have to wait until after that.
Yet, there’s a chance the ruling could come that soon.
Republicans will be ready to jump on it if it does.
Meanwhile, other redistricting efforts could give Republicans about eight more seats.
However, the party in power generally loses seats in the off-year, so we will have to see what happens.
Democrats are already talking about a “one-party system” if their fears come to fruition.
Although critics argue that the Democrats only have themselves to blame.
The party lurched so far to the Left in the last few elections, which has resulted in the Democrats becoming irrelevant and bleeding minority voters.
If Democrats spent as much time listening to the concerns of their voting bloc, they might not be in this mess in the first place.
If the Supreme Court ruling goes in their favor, Republicans might be able to regain some of the strength they had in the 1980s.
Trump has managed to turn much of the economy around in just a few months, and if he can keep control of Congress, he could do even more during the rest of his term.
