A MAGA New Hampshire state Senator Dan Innis on Friday announced he’s yanking his bill to redraw the Granite State’s two congressional districts to make one of them far easier for a Republican to win in what Politico reports is a “blow to the White House’s aggressive effort to protect the GOP’s House majority in the midterms” as though the whole project had ever been about something else.
Republican Gov Kelly Ayotte, a former Senator, has been taking a lot of shit from MAGA for resisting the convicted felon President Trump’s commands, but still isn’t budging. “The governor wasn’t that supportive of it since it’s in the middle of the normal redistricting cycle. Rather than create a difficult situation, I thought it made sense to save this for another time,” said Innis, plainly disappointed.
The failure comes at a period of renewed urgency for the fascists’ efforts to rig the 2026 House map in their favor as California’s Prop 50 will wipe out the net five seats in Texas and Virginia Dems’ new plan will cost the GOP as many as three. Outside of Texas, only one new GOP seat is truly in the bag as Indiana Republicans are stalling and Missouri’s move to kill a Kansas City Dem seat may be frozen or even overturned outright. Next year the Trump GOP could kill some Dem seats in Florida and Ohio but by then other Blue States may have already gotten their act together.
