Texas Governor Threatens Democrats Over Redistricting Dispute

Texas Governor Greg Abbott threatens to remove Democratic lawmakers who fled the state to protest a new Republican-led congressional map, which aims to favor Republicans in the 2026 elections. Democrats are holding events in other states to oppose the map, while Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton threaten legal and physical action against the absentees. The redistricting effort, supported by Trump, is criticized for potentially disenfranchising minority voters and setting a dangerous precedent.
