Texas Republicans released their proposed congressional map Wednesday morning that could wipe out Democratic districts and help build the House GOP majority ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

The redistricting effort, backed by the White House, would create 30 Republican congressional seats, compared to just eight Democratic districts, a five-seat boost for the GOP from its current 25 Republican and 13 Democratic seat breakdown.
