The Texas Legislature passed a new GOP-drawn congressional map early Saturday that is designed to net Republicans in Congress up to five additional House seats, capping off a weeks-long sprint to redraw districts in the party’s favor at the request of President Donald Trump.  

The legislation was approved by Republicans along party lines in the state Senate after clearing the House. The measure now goes to Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX), who has vowed to swiftly sign it into law.
