Texas Gov. Greg Abbott calls another special session amid Trump redistricting battle
Minutes after adjourning this summer's first special session of the Texas Legislature, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday called yet another while Texas House Democrats remain out of state. The Dems departed Austin earlier this month to prevent GOP lawmakers, who control the Lege, from forcing a vote to redraw the state's congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. Abbott and his allies want to redistrict the state so it can gain five more Republican seats in the U.S. House.
