Texas state Rep. Gene Wu joined a private strategy call on Thursday with Democratic leaders from other GOP-led states that might also redraw their maps.

Several Texas state House Democrats ripped up the written agreements that allowed them to leave the chamber with a police escort and returned to the House floor Tuesday night, the caucus announced.

Republican lawmakers pushed the map through over fierce Democratic opposition, positioning the GOP to net up to five additional seats in Texas.

Redrawn congressional maps that have been the center of controversy in Texas passed the Senate early Saturday and now head to Gov. Abbott to sign.

Republicans in the Texas Senate approved a map backed by President Donald Trump that would give the GOP up to five more U.S. House seats in the midterms.

Democratic Texas state Rep. Nicole Collier has now spent over 24 hours on the Texas House floor in protest after refusing a Republican demand to be placed under the watch of the state Department of Public Safety.

Democratic voters loathe partisan redistricting, but support California doing it to counter Texas, according to a new national poll on Gavin Newsom’s high-stakes gerrymander.

New congressional maps could determine which party wins control of the House in next year’s elections — but election experts say they could also shape power in D.C. long after that.
