Today, DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to keep in place Texas’s newly racially gerrymandered congressional map for the 2026 midterm:
“It’s incredibly disappointing that the Court has rubber stamped a map enacted by Texas Republicans which, simply put, is an extreme, racially gerrymandered map. The people of Texas don’t want this map, but it was put in place at the behest of national Republicans who are desperate to cling to their majority in the House of Representatives by decimating minority voting opportunity. And because the public continues to turn on Republicans and their broken promises, we know Republicans will not net nearly the number of seats in Texas as they hoped. House Democrats remain poised to re-take the majority next year.”
