Texas\u2019 newly redrawn Republican-friendly congressional map is back in place, at least for now, after Justice Samuel Alito temporarily restored the map while the full U.S. Supreme Court considers whether a lower court was correct in striking it down.<\/p>\n

The map is expected to net Republicans up to five additional seats in the 2026 midterm elections if it remains in place, Politico\u00a0reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alito\u2019s order allows Texas officials to continue preparing for primary elections under the GOP-backed map. The move came shortly after the state asked the justices for an emergency ruling to revive the redistricting plan championed by President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Texas filed the appeal late Friday and asked the court to pause a lower court ruling that found the map was likely based on unconstitutional racial considerations.<\/p>\n

The petition formally asked the high court to intervene in a case that could help decide control of the House in the next midterm cycle.<\/p>\n

A longer-term ruling restoring the map would make it far harder for Democrats to regain a majority.<\/p>\n

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and state lawmakers argued the lower court waited too long to block the map.<\/p>\n
