President Donald Trump is calling Texas lawmakers' approval of a sweeping redistricting plan to add up to five new GOP-leaning congressional seats a "Big WIN" for Republicans.
Trump fired off a post via Truth Social hailing the state for "never letting us down," saying the victory was more than a state win but a national turning point. He went on to urge other Republican-led states to follow the Lone Star State’s lead.
"Big WIN for the Great State of Texas!!! Everything Passed, on our way to FIVE more Congressional seats and saving your Rights, your Freedoms, and your Country, itself. Texas never lets us down. Florida, Indiana, and others are looking to do the same thing. More seats equals less Crime, a great Economy, and a STRONG SECOND AMENDMENT. It means Happiness and Peace," he said.
