San Antonio would lose U.S. House seat under Republican redistricting plan, leaked map shows
San Antonio stands to lose one of its congressional districts and up to two of its Democratic U.S. House members under Texas Republicans' redrawing of the state's political districts, Punchbowl News reports, citing an image of the GOP's proposed map leaked before its official release. The map, reportedly due out later today, would create five new House seats that President Donald Trump is expected to carry by 10 or more points, likely giving Republicans an advantage of 30 seats to eight controlled by Democrats, Punchbowl News' number crunching shows. At present, Texas has 25 Republican representatives and 12 Democrats, while one seat is vacant.
