Trump won every single one of the 38 Texas congressional districts in the 2024 presidential election.

Question

Accepted Answer

False. Trump won 27 of 38 congressional districts (71%) in Texas in 2024, including two districts that elected Democrats to Congress. Presidential performance doesn't always match congressional outcomes in the same district. Trump won 56% of the statewide vote but carried 71% of districts—a 15-point gap revealing how district lines amplify Republican voting power. The fact that Democrats won congressional seats in two districts Trump carried shows split-ticket voting, but the map's design ensures those victories are rare. The disparity between Trump's statewide vote share and his district wins demonstrates how gerrymandering manufactures legislative majorities beyond what voter preferences alone would produce.
