Democrats have struggled to find effective ways to oppose President Donald Trump, and even some Democratic voters describe the party as weak. But Trump’s push for states to redraw political maps and create more GOP-friendly House seats in time for the 2026 election has raised the stakes.

Hundreds gathered at Millennium Park Saturday afternoon, joined by several Texas House Democrats, to rally against redistricting efforts in Texas that could give Republicans five additional U.S.
