Summary
The Supreme Court has temporarily restored Texas’ newly redrawn congressional map, which could potentially add five House seats for Republicans, despite a lower court’s ruling that some districts were racially discriminatory. This decision is seen as beneficial for House Republicans and aligns with President Trump’s efforts to maintain GOP dominance through mid-decade redistricting. Following a previous ruling that blocked the new map for the 2026 elections, Texas Governor Greg Abbott requested the Supreme Court’s intervention. Justice Samuel Alito reinstated the map while the court reviewed the case, allowing its use in next year’s elections.
