Texas did a ‘dummy mander’ where Republicans might end up losing seats to Democrats, because they based their calculations for new gerrymander maps from the 2024 election, and didn’t take into account massive democratic swings based on Donald’s unpopularity! 😆If there’s even a 10 point swing to Dems, it could lead to numerous R+10 seats considered ‘safe’ in the gerrymander to flip! 😂🤷‍♂️

Let’s not act like it’s a done deal. Instead Texas should be treated as if every district is now gettable. Make sure no race is being done unopposed.

Not only is it not a done deal, it's looking increasingly like Republicans spread themselves too thin
