The Governor of Texas, Abbott, signs the map of the redrait congress that favors Republicans after Trump press

The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, said on Friday that he has signed the bill redesigning the map of the Texas Congress, a milestone for the redistributed average promoted by Republicans in the solitary Star state that comes when other states also prepare to consider their map of Congress.

Abbott, who signed the bill around a week after the state Senate approved it, shared a video on social networks on Friday that showed the Republican putting his signature in the legislation.

He added just after, “Texas is now reder in the United States Congress.”

The states generally draw their map of the Congress once per decade, after the census, but President Donald Trump and the White House had pushed the State again to draw their map to help Republicans reinforce their thin majority in the United States Representatives House in the mid -period elections of 2026.

Experts have said that the new map of Congress could allow Republicans to turn up to five seats; Republicans have said that the new borders of the district were based on political performance and other considerations allowed by law.

Democrats have said that maps unfairly point out and marginalize color voters.
