Alabama GOP Targets Additional House Seat Following Supreme Court Decision

WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Thursday, May 14, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling that has energized Alabama Republicans to pursue an extra seat in the House of Representatives.

In a separate legislative move earlier this week, the Senate unanimously passed a resolution with a 99-0 vote. The measure is designed to suspend senatorial salaries during future government shutdowns, with the salary withholding provisions set to take effect following the November midterm elections.
