Federal court blocks Texas from using new congressional gerrymander in 2026 midterms

by Eleanor Klibanoff, The Texas Tribune

tate Rep. Matt Morgan, R-Richmond, surveys a map of proposed new congressional districts in Texas, as Democratic lawmakers, who left the state to deny Republicans the opportunity to redraw the state's 38 congressional districts, began returning to the Texas Capitol in Austin on Aug. 20, 2025. The decision is a major blow for Republicans, including President Donald Trump, who had pushed Texas’ GOP leaders to draw new lines to help protect the party’s narrow U.S. House majority. The post Federal court blocks Texas from using new congressional gerrymander in 2026 midterms appeared first on San Antonio Current.
