The Republican-controlled Texas legislature is expected to pass a new congressional map creating five new winnable seats for the GOP.

Follow here for the latest updates as the Texas House debates President Donald Trump's plan to gerrymander five new GOP congressional seats in the state.

Texas Democrats ended their walkout and returned as Republicans advance a redistricting plan that would likely create five new GOP congressional seats.

California Democrats' ability to do so may hinge on the outcome of a ballot measure Newsom announced last week that would allow a new map drafted by legislators to temporarily replace the boundaries drawn up by the state's independent redistricting committee following the 2020 census.

The court said the petitioners “failed to meet their burden of establishing a basis for relief at this time” under the state’s constitution.

California voters backed independent redistricting for congressional seats and giving it up to counter President Trump creates a moral conflict even for Democrats.

The vote targets congressional lines ahead of the 2026 midterms in a state where shifts could change control of the House of Representatives.
