This week on the Jesse Watters show, Ned Ryun, chief executive of the conservative organization American Majority, made a compelling case for the Republican Party to seize a golden opportunity to gain numerous House seats through strategic redistricting—if they can muster the courage to act. Ryun noted that while Democrats have been playing this game for years, Republicans have largely stood by, watching them reshape the political landscape to their advantage.
Ryun also took a moment to commend Donald Trump for his leadership in empowering Republicans to embrace their political strength.
Here’s a glimpse of the conversation, as captured by Real Clear Politics:
JESSE WATTERS: Trump must carve out a path of success for America. The schemers wishing to revert us back to the status quo will not be accommodated. The Democrats are powerless in Washington. They are fragmented, disoriented, and quite unpopular.
When your opponent is on the ropes, you deliver the knockout punch. The Democrats aren’t in a position to negotiate. They initiated this conflict, and we will bring it to a close.
American Majority founder, Ned Ryun.
Ned, are you in?
NED RYUN, CEO, AMERICAN MAJORITY: Absolutely! I’m thrilled that we have Republicans who are inspired by Donald Trump. He has shown them not only how to wield political power but also how to embrace it. For generations, this has been a critical weakness for Republicans, but Trump is demonstrating exactly how to capitalize on that power.
On a side note, regarding Tish James and Adam Schiff—let’s clarify: their cries about weaponization are misplaced. This is about ensuring equal justice under the law. If an average citizen were found guilty of mortgage fraud, they would face severe penalties; thus, this is about fairness before the law.
But Jesse, the Democrats are apprehensive. They’re peering into the future with dread. As you mentioned, they’re in chaos, and the uncertainty is palpable.
Imagine if Texas, Ohio, and Florida execute redistricting before the 2026 elections. The potential exists for Republicans to gain 13 additional House seats. And let’s not ignore the implications of immigration—many forget that these individuals were often brought in for political leverage. Studies suggest that hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions, have participated in recent elections. This isn’t just about votes; it’s about how these populations influence the allocation of House seats, electoral votes, and federal funding.

This is precisely why Democrats seem so rattled. They are acutely aware that if the GOP capitalizes on this opportunity, they could find themselves sidelined for an extended period.
