Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday that tackling redrawing the state's congressional maps would be part of an special legislative session later this summer as Republicans seek to hold on to their narrow U.

Democrats criticized Gov. Greg Abbott for seeking a redistricting, favored by President Trump’s political team, just days after devastating floods in Texas.

Abbott’s lengthy agenda for the Texas Legislature includes unfinished business, such as eliminating the STAAR test, and conservative priorities.
