0:55Now PlayingRepublican lawmakers in Georgia have rejected their governor's call to redraw the state's 2028 voting maps just hours before a special session was set to begin.
In a letter to Gov. Brian Kemp, House Speaker Jon Burns cited concerns about moving too quickly and not giving the public a chance to weigh in.
Demonstrators flooded the Georgia Capitol Wednesday, chanting and carrying signs against redistricting efforts.
The moment is a setback for President Donald Trump, who has urged Republican-led states to redraw congressional maps to gain seats in the midterms.
