5:25Now PlayingBNC’s Washington correspondent Bofta Yimam joins “Start Your Day” to discuss Texas issuing civil arrest warrants to the more than 50 state Democrats who fled the state to protest a restrictive voting rights bill.
Texas Democrats have been in D.C. for over a month, blocking the state’s GOP from passing the bill.
State Representative Ron Reynolds, Vice-Chair of Texas Legislative Black Caucus, and Rep. Jasmine Crockett speak to BNC about the warrant, saying they’re working to protect their constituents.
“I do still believe...that we will start to see the movement that we really need to make sure that we got the protections that we need,” Crockett says.
All this and more on “Start Your Day.”
