Democrat lawmakers abandoned their duty to Texans and fled to blue redistricted states all for naught. Drama, press antics and buffoonery ensued …. to no avail.
A big win for Governor Greg Abbott. AP reports: The Texas House on Wednesday approved redrawn congressional maps that would give Republicans a bigger edge in 2026, muscling through a partisan gerrymander that launched weeks of protests by Democrats and a widening national battle over redistricting. The approval came at the urging of President Donald Trump, who pushed for the extraordinary mid-decade revision of congressional maps to give his party a better chance at holding onto the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The maps need to be approved by the GOP-controlled state Senate and signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott before they become official (AP).
Abbott is expected to sign the bill by week’s end: The final vote was 88 ayes—all Republicans including House Speaker Dustin Burrows (R-Lubbock), who normally doesn’t vote on legislation—to 52 nays…. Republicans assert the map was drawn with political performance in mind, while Democrats argue the proposal violates existing federal law regarding race-based redistricting. “This is a good plan. I urge its adoption. Mister speaker, members, according to the US Supreme Court. You can use political performance. And that is what we’ve done,” Hunter said (The Texan).
