A federal court blocked Texas from using its new congressional map for the 2026 midterms — which created five new likely Republican districts — and ordered the state to use its 2021 map, Punchbowl News reports.
Texas Tribune: “The decision is a major blow for Republicans, in Texas and nationally, who pushed through this unusual mid-decade redistricting at the behest of President Trump…”
“It was not immediately clear if the state still has a legal path to restoring the new map in time for 2026.”
