California Democrats are taking up their proposed constitutional amendment to temporarily redraw their congressional maps, hours after Republicans in the Texas House passed new maps of their own.

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

The maps, which create up to five new winnable GOP seats in Congress ahead of the 2026 midterms, still need to be approved by the state Senate and signed by Governor Greg Abbott.
