The Supreme Court of the United States Delivers Crushing Win to Trump As Texas GOP Map Flips 5 House Seats, Secures Narrow Majority

The Supreme Court delivered a major victory for President Trump and Texas Republicans, allowing the state's new congressional map to proceed despite lower court challenges. This Trump-backed redistricting effort aims to secure up to five additional GOP House seats, strengthening the party's slim majority through the 2026 midterms. Justices emphasized states' rights in elections, pausing interference that disrupted primaries. Texas leaders like Gov. Greg Abbott and AG Ken Paxton hailed the decision as a step toward fair representation. With candidate filings due Dec. 8, Republicans gain momentum nationwide.
