Texas GOP Makes Major Progress
Texas conservatives just delivered a major victory. Early Saturday, the Texas Senate passed a new congressional map—and it could give Republicans up to five more U.S. House seats in the 2026 midterms.
Abbott and GOP Push Through Despite Democrat Obstruction
The vote split strictly along party lines, 18–11 in the Senate, after Democrats tried last-ditch delay tactics. State Sen. Carol Alvarado (D) even threatened a filibuster, but Republicans blocked the stunt and moved forward.
Gov. Greg Abbott (R) hailed the win, promising to sign the map “swiftly.” On social platform X, Abbott declared:
“The Senate has approved the One Big Beautiful Map. In spite of the Democrats’ antics, we kept our word. This map represents the real choices of Texas voters.”
Democrats Cry Foul, Threaten Lawsuits
Predictably, Democrats blasted the move as a “power grab” and vowed legal challenges. Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) slammed the Texas plan as “a gerrymander” and promised lawsuits, warning the battle is just beginning.
Redistricting Arms Race Across America
Texas isn’t alone. Across the country, both Republican and Democrat states are redrawing district lines.
- California Democrats approved a ballot measure that could give them five more seats.
- Florida and Missouri Republicans are also preparing to redraw maps—setting up a high-stakes fight for control of Congress.
Why This Matters for Conservatives
For decades, Democrats have controlled the redistricting game—locking Republicans out of states like Massachusetts and California. Now, Texas is leading the charge to restore fairness and ensure voters’ voices are truly heard.
With President Trump’s America First agenda energizing conservatives nationwide, this redistricting victory could be the first big step toward reclaiming the House majority in 2026.
