Mike Johnson's assertion that Democratic gerrymandering is the reason for a slim Republican majority is factually incorrect; Republicans have gerrymandered significantly more seats than Democrats.
The Republican party's slim three-seat majority results largely from a mid-decade gerrymander in North Carolina, which transformed the state's balanced electoral representation in favor of Republicans.
Historically, Republicans have drawn district lines for nearly three times as many US House seats compared to Democrats, leveraging their power post-2011 gerrymanders to secure their electoral advantage.
While Johnson acknowledges the role of gerrymandering in his speakership, he misrepresents the situation; it is the Republican party's tactics that created their majority, not Democratic actions.
