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.

The Texas Senate on Saturday approved new congressional maps drawn to help Republicans win as many as five more House seats in next year’s midterm elections.

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.
