Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday signed into law the state’s new congressional districts.
State lawmakers assembled the new map in order to give Republican candidates a better position in at least another five districts, any one of which could be needed for the party to maintain the majority of the U.S. House in 2026..
The redistricting has prompted California Gov. Gavin Newsom to try to redistrict his state, already sporting Democrat over-representation, to give his party additional power following the next congressional vote.
However, he’s having to go to statewide voters, at an expense tallied in the millions, because he wants to eliminate the nonpartisan redistricting committee that the state has.
A report at the Washington Examiner explained the state’s redistricting sparked outrage from Democrats, whose party is falling rapidly from favor of the American voters after they doubled down on their transgender, green and open borders ideologies after their catastrophic loss in the 2024 presidential election.
In Texas, Democrat lawmakers, in fact, fled the state for weeks trying to derail the GOP-majority plan, and failed.

Abbott said, “Today, I signed the One Big Beautiful Map into law. This map ensures fairer representation in Congress.”
The Democrats inside the state have responded with lawsuits, hoping they will find favor with some leftist judge, as their party repeatedly has done in battles with President Donald Trump.
“This isn’t over — we’ll see these clowns in court,” claimed Texas Democratic Party Chair Kendall Scudder.
