During a panel discussion on FOX News Sunday over the weekend, Republican strategist Matt Gorman brought some fresh perspective on the current battle over redistricting in Texas, noting that this is something Democrats have been doing for years.
Gorman used specific and recent examples, citing an attempt by Democrats to do this in Wisconsin just a couple of months ago.
He suggested that in the end, Republicans are going to end up beating Democrats at their own game.

“Look, Democrats like to play with matches and think they will never be the ones to get burned, right? This whole thing started not with Texas, but with Wisconsin Democrats going to the court to try to redraw lines a couple months ago to get better seats for themselves. I was at the NRCC in 2018 when, 6 months before Election Day — six months — Democrats went to the courts to get new lines drawn — new congressional districts — flipping several of them to the Democrats. I mean, you Kathy Hochul.
You called her out from a few years ago in New York. Maryland, Connecticut, Illinois is the king of them all. And to Horace’s point, Texas Republicans get the same proportion of the statewide vote is Illinois do. They don’t even have close to the number of congressional seats per proportionally that the Illinois Democrats do. So, look, this is a game and the rules that Democrats have set. We will play by their rules and I think we will eventually — I think at least in Texas and other states, beat them at their own game.”
