The Texas Senate voted to approve a controversial, mid-decade redistricting bill that redraws the state’s congressional map in Republican’s favor. The new districts could give the GOP as many as five more seats in Congress after the 2026 midterm elections.

About 5,000 people gathered at the Capitol on Saturday to protest President Trump and the Texas Legislature’s plan to redraw the state’s congressional districts to give Republicans more seats in the U.S. House.

House Democrats seem set on remaining out of state as long as it takes to block a new Republican-backed congressional map. What does that mean for business at the Capitol?

The Texas Senate’s packed floor session Tuesday wasn’t without its own political drama. Early on, nine of the chamber’s Democrats walked out to protest the redistricting plan that prompted the House quorum break.

It has been more than a week since Texas House Democrats fled the state to block a Republican-backed redistricting map.

It’s now week two of a quorum break by more than 50 Texas House Democrats who left the state to block a new, Republican-backed congressional district map. A lot has happened so far — from court filings to threats from top Texas officials to law enforcement showing up at Democrats’ homes.

The case of Senator E.L. Alford, who was expelled from his seat in 1870, provides lessons for today.
