A special session for redistricting?

I doubt it, even if Trump wants it, is even begging for it.

Trump wants Strangeabbott to call the Lege into special session to further gerrymander its Congressional districts for 2026. Ain't gonna happen, I don't think but a sure sign of Trump's fears about the midterms. Texas' Congresscritters are mostly mum in public but worry they could be pitched into redistricting fights against each other, per the Chronic, which also notes that, as we speak and type, the state faces trial in El Paso over previous redistricting.

Legislative Republicans, on the other hand, are less reticent about criticizing the whole deal.

Also, per all of the above links, since Texas congressional seats are already fairly gerrymandered, there's a lot of question about how much this could add. And, if Texas stretches itself too thin, how it might even backfire, like in the 2018 midterms.

How much backdoor word will Congressional incumbents give to Strangeabbott and Legiscritters about their fears? How much will Abbott reference the ongoing suit to Trump as an excuse?
