0:27Now PlayingDemocratic and Republican lawmakers are escalating their threats over redistricting, a fight that started in Texas and is now quickly spreading across the country.
California Democrats have vowed to “fight fire with fire” as they weigh asking voters to override the state’s independent redistricting commission.
Missouri Republicans are studying a plan like the one in Texas, with one lawmaker saying the governor wants to be sure the state’s ”Christian conservative majority” has adequate representation.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul slammed the Republican effort in Texas as a “blatant power grab” and called for disbanding her state’s bipartisan redistricting committee – even though new districts wouldn’t be established ahead of next year’s midterm elections.
The mapping duel is emerging as a national flashpoint as Republicans seek to protect their narrow majority in the US House of Representatives. President Donald Trump has said redistricting in Texas will enable the GOP to add as many as five seats in Congress. Texas Democrats, scattered from Chicago to Boston and facing arrest warrants back home, are urging other states to join the fight.
