The US Supreme Court approved the adoption of a new version of the congressional election map drawn by Republicans for next year's election. The move boosted Republican hopes for up to five additional seats in the House of Representatives in the state. In three objections, the judges overturned the lower court's ruling, which had blocked the use of this map. The map was drawn in response to President Donald Trump's request to help Republicans maintain their majority in the House of Representatives during the midterm elections. The Supreme Court's order was effective only until the judges resolved the state's appeal, and the decision did not stipulate whether the map could still be used after 2026.
