Texas Legislators Approve GOP Redistricting Requested by Trump -- WSJ

The Texas Senate approved a redistricting plan at the behest of President Trump that has Republicans looking to expand its narrow majority in the U.S. House and Democratic states seeking to nullify any potential gains with its own redrawn maps.

State Republicans marshaled their new congressional maps through the legislature in an unusual mid-decade redistricting that Democrats said amounted to cheating. Trump asked the state to flip seats for his party ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, which are expected to be a close battle for control over Congress.

Dozens of Texas House Democrats had tried to block an earlier vote on the gerrymandering by fleeing the state for two weeks. They returned Monday, opening the door for Republicans to push through their redistricting plan. Now, the bill heads to Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who is expected to sign it into law.

The move by Texas Republicans has set off a redistricting battle in Democratic-led states for control of the U.S. House. In California on Thursday, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation on a counter-redistricting plan aimed at neutralizing Texas' gains. California voters would need to approve the plan in a special election in November.
