💨 Abstract

Texas and California are set for a political showdown over redistricting. Texas Republicans aim to gain five House seats, while California Democrats plan to counter this by erasing most GOP districts. Texas Democrats ended their walkout after nearly two weeks but vow court battles if needed. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom announced a special election to approve maps that could give Democrats five more seats. Both states are key in the battle for House control, with potential impacts on President Trump's agenda.
