💨 Abstract

Texas Republicans are preparing to end their current special session and call another to push through new congressional maps, a move directed by President Donald Trump ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Democrats have stalled the process by leaving the state to block Republican gerrymandering attempts. Governor Greg Abbott has vowed to call repeated special sessions until the agenda is passed, which includes redistricting and disaster relief. Republicans aim to add five more GOP seats in Congress.
