US EditionTexas GOP unveils new planned congressional map
TEXAS, JUL 30 – The proposed Texas map aims to add five GOP seats, increasing Republican districts from 25 to 30 and reducing Democratic representation amid claims of racial gerrymandering.
- On July 30, 2025, Texas Republicans unveiled a new mid-decade redistricting map creating five additional GOP-leaning districts for the 2026 midterm elections.
- Earlier this month, the Justice Department alleged `unconstitutional racial gerrymanders` in four districts, prompting a special legislative session called by Governor Greg Abbott at President Trump’s urging.
- According to election analyst Dave Wasserman, the plan creates 30 districts that Trump would have carried by 10 points, reshaping Texas's delegation into nearly 80 percent Republican control.
- With walkouts looming, Texas Democrats face $500-per-day fines under state House rules, after California Governor Gavin Newsom warned of retaliation.
- Washington Rep. Suzan DelBene indicated that if Texas succeeds, other Democratic-led states like Ohio and Missouri might follow suit before the 2026 midterms.
