💨 Abstract

In a strategic move, U.S. Republicans aim to redraw Texas's congressional maps this week to secure five new GOP seats, potentially flipping Democratic Representative Vicente Gonzalez's district. Gonzalez, however, believes this could make neighboring Republican districts more competitive. The move is part of President Trump's push to retain House control amidst political challenges. Texas Democrats may boycott the session to disrupt the process, risking fines.
