Texas Redistricting Sparks Political Battle Over Congressional Seats
A Texas House panel has approved a new congressional map aimed at making five Democratic seats more favorable to Republicans, part of a broader strategy to help the GOP maintain control of the US House in the 2026 midterms. The map, which is set for a full House vote, faces opposition from Democrats who argue it suppresses voters of color and is unconstitutional, with plans for legal challenges. The redistricting effort is part of a larger national trend among Republicans and Democrats exploring similar strategies to influence upcoming elections.
