Greg Abbott confirms plans to erode Democratic power in the US House through a special legislative session.

The claim states that Greg Abbott confirms plans to erode Democratic power in the U.S. House through a special legislative session. Multiple sources confirm that Texas Governor Greg Abbott called a special legislative session starting July 21, 2025, which includes an agenda item to redraw congressional maps (redistricting). This redistricting effort is widely understood as a Republican strategy to maintain or increase GOP seats in Congress by reshaping districts, which would likely reduce Democratic representation.

CNN Politics explicitly notes that the GOP's goal is to knock off at least two Democratic members of the House, indicating an intent to erode Democratic power. NBC News and The Texas Tribune also report on the inclusion of redistricting in the special session agenda. While Abbott's official proclamation does not explicitly state the goal as eroding Democratic power, the political context and expert analysis make this implication clear.

Therefore, the claim is mostly true as it accurately reflects Abbott's confirmed plans and their political implications, though it simplifies the official language into a more direct political objective.
