Texas Gov. Greg Abbott immediately calls second special session for redistricting

Description:

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called a second special session to pass a new congressional map after Democrats blocked the first by leaving the state. The session began shortly after the first ended, but Republicans still lacked a quorum due to absent Democrats, who are mainly in Illinois protesting the redistricting aimed at adding five GOP seats for the midterms. Abbott criticized Democrats for avoiding their legislative duties, while Speaker Dustin Burrows warned that out-of-state members could face civil arrest if they return before quorum is met, Politico has reported. Lawmakers expect the House to reach quorum by Monday. read more: 👍 Like this video to stay informed about the Texas political standoff over redistricting. 💬 Comment below—do you think Democrats’ walkout is justified or undermines the legislative process? 🔗 Share this video to inform others about the high-stakes battle for congressional maps in Texas. 💰 Want to support the channel?
