AUSTIN (Nexstar) — On Wednesday morning, the Texas House will meet to vote on House Bill 4, which would implement a new U.S. congressional map for the state. According to NBC News reporter Ryan Chandler, the House leadership will try to do a second and third reading vote on the bill Wednesday, an unusual move which would expedite the bill being sent to the Texas Senate.

    Democrats are protesting the map, which President Donald Trump said is an attempt to flip five U.S. House seats from Democratic to Republican.

    In addition to the map vote, State Rep. Gene Wu, D-Houston, prefilled an amendment tying the change of the map to Attorney General Pam Bondi releasing the Epstein files.

    "Trump is in those files, and that's why he's fighting to keep them hidden,” Wu said. “At the same time he's demanding Abbott ram through racist maps, he's making sure Congressional Republicans block the release of files that could expose his decades-long relationship with a child sex trafficker. This amendment forces Republicans to choose between their loyalty to Trump and their obligation to expose sexual predators.”

    On the other side of the aisle, Republicans are happy to move forward from the redistricting battle.

    "In about 12 hours, the silly games, petulant name-calling and ridiculous publicity stunts of our Democrat colleagues will be met with the resounding and overwhelming adoption of the fair, legal and constitutional congressional redistricting plan, HB 4," State Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, wrote. "I can’t wait to vote YES to send the Big Beautiful Map to the desk of [Gov. Greg Abbott]!"
