Supreme Court reinstates Texas pro-Republican congressional map in 6-3 ruling
The U.S. Supreme Court formally reversed a lower court ruling that had struck down Texas's redrawn congressional map as an unlawful racial gerrymander. The 6-3 decision fell along ideological lines, with Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Brown Jackson dissenting. The ruling allows the map, which could net Republicans up to five House seats, to stand beyond the 2026 elections.
