Texas lawmakers approved a redistricting map giving Republicans five more U.S. House seats, shifting the delegation to 30–7. Gov. Greg Abbott is expected to sign.

The national redistricting battle enters its next phase Thursday as California Democrats are scheduled to pass a new congressional map that creates five winnable seats for their party, a direct counter to the Texas House's approval of a new map to create more conservative-leaning seats in that state.

California Democrats are making moves to put a ballot measure pushing pro-Democratic maps before voters this fall. Other Republican-controlled states are looking at redraws, too.
