Just as Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Colin Allred was holding a town hall near the Mexican border as part of an “unrig Texas” campaign tour, the state’s Democratic fundraising powerhouse Beto O’Rourke rallied support in Austin for lawmakers who left the state to delay a redistricting plan led by President Donald Trump.

Even as it seems entirely inevitable that Texas Republicans will follow through on their goal of gerrymandering the state to help Donald Trump retain power in Congress through the 2026 elections, Democrats who fled the state to try to stop the measure are seeing success in how the matter has become a national issue,

Former President Obama joined a virtual meeting with Texas House Democrats who left the state to deny GOP redistricting effort, cheering on their efforts.

Former President Barack Obama praised a group of Texas Democratic lawmakers for fleeing their state to stop a vote on a redistricting bill, calling their actions “inspiring."

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation on Thursday to place a gerrymandered congressional map on the ballot in California, aiming to flip five GOP-held House seats and offset Texas Republicans’ redistricting drive.

Texas Republicans are triumphant after a success in their efforts to redraw the state’s congressional maps, but California Democrats are set to make their move.

Former President Barack Obama accused Lone Star State Republicans of seeking to engage in gerrymandering in "a power grab that undermines our democracy"

California voters will decide in a November special election whether to approve a redrawn congressional map designed to help Democrats win five more U.S. House seats next year
