2:17Now PlayingOn Saturday, the Texas Senate gave final approval to the redrawn congressional map which would help the GOP maintain its slim majority during the 2026 midterm elections.
Democrats have said that they will challenge the new map in court. This comes after several democratic lawmakers left the state throughout the last few weeks in protest to the vote.
State Sen. Carol Alvarado had planned to filibuster the bill, writing in a post on X, "Republicans think they can walk all over us. Today I'm going to kick back. I've submitted my intention to filibuster the new congressional maps. Going to be a long night." However, Alvarado never got the chance to filibuster because the senate broke for a long dinner break. When members returned, Republicans accused her of breaking Senate rules by attempting to fundraise off the coming filibuster.
Gov. Greg Abbott is expected to sign the redrawn congressional map into law as soon as it hits his desk.
