In a major setback for Gavin Newsom and Democrats nationwide, the Supreme Court late last night upheld Texas’ new redistricting map — a map that is poised to give Republicans additional House seats in the 2026 midterms. The ruling came down 6–3, with the Court’s liberal justices in dissent.
It’s a significant victory for Texas, a blow to Democratic gerrymandering complaints, and a reminder that states still have the authority to draw their own lines — despite the left’s ongoing attempts to weaponize the courts when elections don’t tilt their way.
