Republican lawmakers are poised to push the map through over fierce Democratic opposition, positioning the GOP to net up to five additional seats in Texas.

California Democrats passed a trio of redistricting bills Thursday, a day after Republicans in the Texas House passed new maps of their own. Taken together, the package of bills backed by Democratic Gov.

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, who has represented Austin in Congress for 30 years, said Thursday he might not seek reelection in 2026 if the state’s newly approved redistricting map remains in place.

California Democrats scored a victory after passing a plan that could net them five more House seats in the midterm elections.

State party vice chair Jennifer Bukowsky said she expects a special session when district lines are decided by national Republicans.

Michigan has independent redistricting and a divided state government that pretty much take it out of the fight over congressional maps before 2026.
