BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows Texas to use its Trump-backed congressional map in next year’s midterms overruling a lower-court decision that found the map likely unconstitutional due to racial-gerrymandering concerns.

• The court issued a brief unsigned opinion granting Texas’s request.

• The map was previously blocked by a federal court after judges concluded the new boundaries were drawn based on race.

• The decision could have major consequences for control of the U.S. House.
