In Texas, the Republican-controlled Senate passed new congressional maps that could flip as many as five House seats in favor of the GOP. In a statement, Republican Governor Greg Abbott said, “The One Big Beautiful Map has passed the Senate and is on its way to my desk, where it will be swiftly signed into law.” Earlier this month, more than 50 Democratic legislators temporarily fled the state for two weeks to deny Republicans the quorum needed to pass the new congressional maps.
