This kind of South Texas makeover might actually win support from neighboring #TX15 Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D), who shockingly came within three points of losing in 2020 and would get a much safer RGV seat in the above scenario. — PolitiTweet.org

Now you might ask: how would Republicans net two seats if they draw a new *Dem* seat in Austin? In the hypothetical above, they would convert retiring Rep. Filemon Vela's (D) #TX34 in the Rio Grande Valley from Biden +4 to Trump +10, while keeping it 70% Hispanic (!). https://t.co/JYc7wY6GwW — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, Dems could argue that this would severely weaken an existing Hispanic district, #TX34. But Rs could also argue South TX Hispanics are no longer as cohesive a group, given their large pro-Trump swing. Bottom line: no matter what map Rs draw, expect years of litigation. — PolitiTweet.org
