The US Supreme Court has reinstated a redrawn Texas congressional map expected to boost Republican representation in the House of Representatives, splitting 6–3 along ideological lines. The map, signed by Governor Greg Abbott after passage by the Republican-led state legislature in August 2025, could flip up to five Democratic-held seats and was backed by President Donald Trump; it overturns a lower court ruling that found the map likely violated constitutional protections by being racially discriminatory. Civil rights groups condemned the decision, arguing it deliberately weakens the political influence of minority voters in Texas, while the ruling adds momentum to a broader national redistricting battle that also includes new Republican-backed map proposals in Florida and a recently approved Democratic redistricting measure in Virginia.
