5:58Now PlayingTexas Democrats fled the state to stall Republican redistricting; but now they’re back in Austin, calling it a “win.” Gov. Greg Abbott has already called another special session, with Trump cheering on “one big, beautiful map.”
Marc Lamont Hill breaks down what’s really at stake: Texas GOP leaders aren’t just shaping local politics, they’re trying to lock in Republican dominance in Congress for the 2026 midterms and beyond. Democrats say they’ll take the fight to court , but critics argue coming back too soon shows weakness.
Meanwhile, blue states like New York and California are eyeing their own redraws to claw back House seats, setting up a national map war that could decide control of Congress.
This isn’t just about Texas. It’s about the future of American democracy.
