(OAN) Texas’ Republican-led legislature has officially approved the Lone Star State’s new electoral map, advancing the redistricting plan.
On Wednesday, Republican state lawmakers approved the newly designed congressional map on an 88-52 party-line vote, giving the GOP up to five additional seats in Congress before the 2026 midterm elections.
During the heated debate over House Bill 4, Texas Democrats criticized the timing of the redistricting effort, arguing that the law “undercut minority representation, violated voting rights protections, and lacked public involvement.”
However, ironically, similar redistricting measures are now being pursued by Democrat officials in blue states, including California, New York, Illinois, and more.

Newsom & Obama are lying and they are hypocrites.
The most egregious gerrymanders in the country are virtually ALL Democrat:
CA 83%
IL 82%
OR 84%
WA 80%
MD 88%
MA 100%
CT 100%TX is going from 63% to 76%—still LESS than all of the above. https://t.co/lfhFzmRLZe
