President Trump has ordered the Commerce Department to begin work on a new census that uses modern facts, excluding individuals illegally in the country. Influencers like Charlie Kirk have claimed that this could lead to the GOP gaining several House seats, particularly in Texas and Florida. Kirk has argued that a proper demographic count may yield an additional 15 to 20 seats for Republicans, referencing Article I of the Constitution which mandates a census every decade. Steve Bannon pointed out previous failures in the 2020 census and asserted that Trump is determined to avoid past mistakes.
President Trump emphasized the importance of a new and highly accurate census that reflects modern-day facts, and crucially stated that individuals in the country illegally will not be counted in this census.
Charlie Kirk claimed that a new census could net the GOP ten new seats, with Texas and Florida each gaining four seats while New York and California may lose representation.
Kirk further asserted that a proper population count could potentially lead to a delta of 15-20 additional seats for Republicans, referencing Article I of the Constitution regarding census frequency.
Steve Bannon discussed the prior administration's failures in correcting the census, emphasizing that President Trump aims to avoid making the same mistakes and intends to ensure the census is accurately conducted.
