DAVE BOSSIE: GOP Governors Must Follow Trump’s Lead On Census And Redistricting

From the day President Donald Trump came down the golden escalator in Trump Tower to launch his first presidential campaign in 2015, he’s been teaching his fellow Republicans how to “fight, fight, fight” and call out the radical left for things they’ve been getting away with in plain sight for decades. In politics, choosing bold leadership over the path of least resistance is seldom an easy decision, but when it comes to saving America, shirking responsibilities is not an option. That’s why Trump is taking our horribly flawed census and inaccurate reapportionment data head on.

The president has called for a new census because illegal immigrants shouldn’t be counted. This is simply a matter of Trumpian common sense, even if it’s hard for the left to swallow. By counting illegals in the census, American citizens aren’t receiving the congressional representation they deserve, and this must change. All governors regardless of political party should push for an accurate census so they can best serve their constituents. American citizens and those in the country legally — the hardworking taxpayers who constitute the backbone of our country — must always be prioritized.

However, due to the radicalization of the Democratic Party, Trump-hating blue state governors will never adopt the concept of putting America first, so it’s Republican governors who must stand tall and do the right thing. The right thing is to follow Trump’s lead and join the chorus of those who want a new census that reflects the actual population of those living in the United States of America legally.

Simultaneously, GOP governors must reexamine their congressional map and update it immediately if it doesn’t accurately reflect their state. For as long as I can remember, Democrats in deep blue states have been maximizing their representation in Congress by using raw political power in the redistricting process.  The left realized long ago that in order to achieve political objectives, every tool in the toolbox must be deployed.  Now, it’s time for Republican governors to join Trump and fight back in the all-important effort to save America.

As we head into the 2026 midterm election season, Republicans hold a razor thin 220 – 215 majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Democrats sense an opening and are scheming to exploit the situation by using every instrument at their disposal. In President Trump’s first term, the left relied on the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax to try to slow him down. This time, it’s by gerrymandering already gerrymandered states that they control.
