The Texas Senate is set to pass the redrawn congressional map after the Texas House passed the bill Wednesday. This could give Republicans give additional seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. As the bill moves towards Governor Abbott’s desk for signing, the battle of redistricting spreads. Governor Gavin Newsom signed California’s redistricting plan to counter Texas, sending it to voters to approve the new congressional map. Republicans in states like Indiana, Missouri, and Florida are now also looking to redraw their maps ahead of the 2026 elections. Texas State Representative Jolanda Jones discusses this fight over redistricting and why she felt it was important for Texas House Democrats to break quorum over this issue.
