民主党众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯周一猛烈抨击共和党人，称他们”在得克萨斯州彻底搞砸了”，指责共和党在重新划分选区问题上操之过急，并预测他们将远远无法赢得五个国会席位。
在国会大厦举行的新闻发布会上，杰弗里斯被问及最近的得克萨斯州参议院竞选，在此次竞选中，一名民主党人赢得了一个2020年唐纳德·特朗普总统赢得的选区席位。杰弗里斯还被追问民主党是否有可能赢得得克萨斯州五个重新划分选区中的四个席位。
“是的，共和党人在得克萨斯州彻底搞砸了，他们心知肚明，”杰弗里斯说。”我们几个月前就知道会这样，原因有很多。”

杰弗里斯认为，共和党人从未有机会赢得五个席位，反而陷入了试图从民主党人手中夺取席位的境地，他们以为不会有回应。
“加利福尼亚州做出了果断回应，由于50号提案，我们将赢得五个席位，”他提到了一项重塑重新划分选区规则并增加多个国会选区民主党机会的加州投票措施。
“得克萨斯州的情况还有待观察，但我可以向你保证，他们不会赢得五个席位，”杰弗里斯继续说道。”仅根据2024年的表现，他们将难以赢得三个席位。”

周六，民主党人又取得了一次胜利，泰勒·雷梅特在一个长期由共和党主导的得克萨斯州参议院选区击败了共和党人利·瓦姆布甘斯，赢得了该席位。雷梅特是一名工会领袖和空军老兵。
杰弗里斯赞扬了雷梅特的竞选活动，称这次胜利是决定性的。

“这对得克萨斯州的共和党人来说是一场惨败，甚至引起了罗恩·德桑蒂斯的注意，”杰弗里斯说。”他们不能忽视这一点。自去年1月以来，共和党人一直在输掉选举，而民主党人一直在赢得选举。”

得克萨斯州重新划分选区的斗争是2026年中期选举前控制众议院的更广泛全国性斗争的一部分，弗吉尼亚州、北卡罗来纳州和加利福尼亚州也发生了类似的冲突，两党都在争夺可能最终决定多数席位的席位。

Jeffries says GOP ‘done eff’d up in Texas,’ vows they won’t win five seats: ‘They can’t ignore it’
House Minority Leader predicts GOP will struggle to win congressional seats after Democrat Taylor Rehmet flipped Fort Worth-area state senate district

Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries unloaded on Republicans Monday, saying they “done eff’d up [in Texas],” accusing the GOP of overreaching on redistricting and predicting they will fall well short of flipping five congressional seats.
During a news conference at the U.S. Capitol, Jeffries was asked about a recent Texas state senate race in which a Democrat flipped a seat in a district President Donald Trump carried in 2020. Jeffries was also pressed on whether Democrats could win four of the five redistricted congressional seats in Texas.
“Yes, Republicans done eff’d up in Texas, and they know it,” Jeffries said. “We knew it months ago, and it’s because of a variety of reasons.”

Jeffries argued Republicans were never positioned to gain five seats but instead created a scenario in which they attempted to take seats from Democrats, believing there would be no response.
“California responded decisively, and we will pick up five seats as a result of Prop. 50,” he said, referring to a California ballot measure that reshaped redistricting rules and boosted Democratic chances in multiple congressional districts.
“It remains to be seen what happens in Texas, but I can guarantee you they won’t win five seats,” Jeffries continued. “They’re going to struggle to win three based on 2024 performance alone.”

Democrats scored another win Saturday when Taylor Rehmet captured a Texas state senate seat in a district long dominated by Republicans. Rehmet, a labor union leader and Air Force veteran, defeated Republican Leigh Wambsganss in the Fort Worth-area district.
Jeffries praised Rehmet’s campaign, calling the victory decisive.

“It was a shellacking for Republicans in Texas that even caught Ron DeSantis’ attention,” Jeffries said. “They can’t ignore it. Republicans have been losing elections, and Democrats have been winning elections since January of last year.”

The Texas redistricting fight is part of a broader national battle for control of the House ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, with similar clashes unfolding in Virginia, North Carolina and California as both parties jockey for seats that could ultimately determine the majority.
