Texas lieutenant governor‘We’re a red state, we deserve more representation’
"Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) defended GOP redistricting efforts, saying Republicans “deserve” more seats in Congress because the Lone Star State is a red state.
In an interview on Fox News’s “Hannity” Tuesday evening, Patrick slammed Democrats for fleeing the state in a bid to block passage of a new Congressional map that would give Republicans five pickup opportunities in the House during the 2026 midterms, and he accused Democrats of losing touch with their voters.
“I challenge them: Come back and do the right thing. Don’t run and hide because you’ve lost touch with the voters,” Patrick told host Sean Hannity in the interview.
“Their problem are not redistricting lines,” he continued. “Their problem, Sean, is they’ve lost the minds of their voters, who are moving toward the Republican Party all over the country.”
“We’re a red state. We deserve more representation,” he added."
