The Texas House of Representatives approved a new state congressional map backed by President Donald Trump, capping a weeks-long political standoff and boosting Republicans’ chances of keeping control of the US House in the 2026 midterm elections.

The House adopted the map, 88 to 52, along party lines. A Senate panel advanced a similar map Sunday, and the full chamber was expected to send the new lines to Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk later this week.

The vote overcame weeks of protests from House Democrats who fled the state to stall a vote on the mid-cycle redistricting.
