A Texas Senate committee on Thursday passed a new set of congressional lines, which were passed in the Texas House the day before, teeing them up for a full vote in the upper chamber later in the day.
The Texas Senate Special Committee on Congressional Redistricting passed a new congressional map in a 5-3 vote, with one absent. The congressional lines still aim to give Republicans five pick-up opportunities in the House next year.
The Texas Senate is set to convene at 8 pm E.T. on Thursday for passage of the map.
