EXCLUSIVE: The Club for Growth says it has President Donald Trump 's back as the president pushes Republican-controlled states to redraw congressional maps in order to create more right-leaning districts to help defend the GOP's fragile House majority in next year's midterm elections. "We're all in on helping Republicans do redistricting," David McIntosh, longtime president of the deep-pocketed and influential conservative group, said in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital. McIntosh highlighted that the Club for Growth's seven-figure efforts "give Republicans a better shot at winning those extra districts." The push by the Club is the latest example of its strong support for the president and his policies, just two years after the group worked to prevent Trump from winning the 2024 Republican presidential nomination amid a bitter feud.

Trump is trying to prevent what happened during his first term in the White House when Democrats reclaimed the House majority in the 2018 midterm elections. Texas was the first Republican-controlled state to pass rare but not-unheard-of mid-decade congressional redistricting, although a ruling by two federal judges threatens to overturn the redrawn map. Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio have also drawn new maps as part of the president's push. Indiana, where McIntosh served three terms as a congressman 25 years ago, is the latest battlefield in the high-stakes redistricting showdown pitting Trump and Republicans versus Democrats to shape the 2026 midterm landscape in the fight for the House majority.
