Despite attempts by Texas’ Democratic lawmakers to stall the redistricting plan pushed by state Republicans, the Texan legislature passed a bill that could result in up to five seats changing from blue to red. Gov. Greg Abbott said he would sign it into law “swiftly.”

As redistricting efforts escalate, Indiana lawmakers are expected to meet with President Trump, California faces a lawsuit over its redistricting plan and Texas prepares to sign a new congressional map favoring Republicans.

Texas lawmakers approved a new congressional map this week at the behest of President Donald Trump, seeking to preserve his Republican Party's slim majority in the U.S. House of Representatives in the November 2026 midterm elections.
