Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill into law on Aug. 29 aimed at flipping five U.S. House seats in the state in Republicans’ favor amid a redistricting battle that includes California.

“Today, I signed the One Big Beautiful Map into law,” Abbott wrote on X. “This map ensures fairer representation in Congress. Texas will be more RED in Congress.”
