Quick Summary

President Trump's efforts to redraw congressional district lines have led to significant changes for many incumbents across various states. Democrats now find themselves running in more Republican-leaning districts, and Republicans face tougher competition in newly Democratic-leaning areas. These shifts come from redistricting approved by state legislatures, voter referendums, or court orders. As a result, some politicians are campaigning in altered territories, others have retired, and some have moved to different districts.
