NY Governor hosts House Dems after bid to block Texas redistricting vote

Описание: New York Governor Kathy Hochul responds to Texas Republicans' push for redistricting, "This is a war. We are at war. And that's why the gloves are off, and I say bring it on."

Texas Democrats left the state on Sunday in a bid to block a redrawing of the state's congressional map. This move orchestrated by the House Republicans is supported by President Donald Trump.

Gov. Kathy Hochul met with several Texas state Democratic lawmakers in Albany this morning as part of their efforts to oppose the Republican-backed redistricting plan.

The controversy began when former President Donald Trump suggested that Texas should redraw its district map to ensure more Republican victories, a process known as gerrymandering. Texas Governor Greg Abbott supported the move, and Republican lawmakers unveiled a new map last week that adds five Republican seats. Currently, the GOP holds 25 of Texas's 38 congressional seats.
