Texas Democrats' Walkout Stalls Gerrymandering Fight | JQJO

Texas Democrats fled the state to block a Republican-backed congressional remap, triggering a national political showdown. Their week-long absence has stalled the plan, which aims to give Republicans five extra seats. Governor Abbott vows to continue special sessions until the map passes, while Democrats, facing potential fines and legal challenges, remain defiant. Their actions have sparked a wider debate on redistricting, with California Democrats proposing a counter-measure and some Republicans expressing concern.
