The U.S. Supreme Court formally reinstated on Monday a redrawn Texas electoral map that was designed to add more Republicans to the U.S. House of Representatives, as President Donald Trump’s party seeks to keep control of Congress in the November congressional elections.
The move by the court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, formalizes an interim decision it made in December to revive the map of U.S. House districts in Texas.
The reinstated map – sought by Trump, approved in August 2025 by the Republican-led state legislature and signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott – could flip as many as five currently Democrat-held U.S. House seats to Republicans.
