The US Supreme Court, led by Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., temporarily blocked a federal ruling that found Texas' 2026 redistricting plan likely racially discriminatory. This plan, backed by Donald Trump and Greg Abbott, seeks to add five Republican-leaning districts to flip Democratic seats for a GOP majority in 2026. The Court's stay allows Texas to use the new map during the March 2026 primaries while it reviews the appeal, amid ongoing national battles over gerrymandering and voting rights.
