The Supreme Court ruled that Texas may use its new congressional map for the 2026 elections, reversing a lower court that found it likely unconstitutional for racial gerrymandering. The decision, a major win for Republicans, could shift up to five seats toward the GOP. The majority said the lower court acted too close to the filing deadline, while Justice Kagan dissented. The ruling reshapes Texas politics, especially for Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who may now face a tougher path forward.
