The Republican-controlled Texas state Senate passed the party’s new congressional maps late Friday, completing a legislative odyssey that included significant Democratic delays and sparked a nationwide scramble over redistricting in the process.

Social media claims that Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett was "fired" by a new Texas congressional map weren't true in any sense of the word.

The map’s passage was a major victory in President Trump’s push to get Republican state leaders to help his party keep control of the U.S. House.
