Supreme Court poised to reshape next 3 election cycles [View all]
The Supreme Court is expected to rule any day on Texas's controversial congressional map, with a decision likely before Dec. 8, the filing deadline for candidates in Texas.
Why it matters: An anticipated ruling would mark the high court's first word on the redistricting wars that have defined the 2026 cycle. It wouldn't be the last.
Driving the news: On Tuesday night, Texas filed its final response for why its new map, drafted at President Trump's urging to give the GOP five new seats, should survive.
Justice Samuel A. Alito temporarily reinstated Texas' GOP-favored congressional map last week, after a district court tossed it. Since then, briefs have been flooding the court, from the actual parties to outside interest groups to the state of Missouri.
