TX: Republicans release new House maps as they attempt to take five Democratic seats

Source: CNN

“Texas Republicans have released their highly anticipated plan for how to tip the balance in their favor in next year’s midterms – redrawing the state’s congressional map in favor of more GOP seats. Multiple Democratic sources said the new map shows that Republicans are attempting to gain five more congressional seats, which they hope will help their chances of holding onto the House majority in the 2026 midterms. Democrats plan to challenge the map in court. … The new map features 30 districts that Trump would have won in 2024, up from 27 under the current map. In total, there are five more seats on the new map that Trump won by more than 10 percentage points.” (07/30/25)
