A divided three-judge panel has blocked a new congressional map in Texas that was designed to favor Republicans. The map, drawn at the request of President Trump, aimed to add up to five Republican seats ahead of next year’s midterms. However, a federal court ruled 2-1 to prevent its use, ordering instead that midterm races proceed with earlier districts. Despite this, Texas plans to appeal the decision to the US Supreme Court.
