Democrats promise to fight

The best Democrat in the Chamber says that “all the options should be on the table” in the Texas redistribution battle.

“We will fight them politically. We will fight them over the government. We will fight them in court. We will fight them in terms of victory in the heart and the minds of the inhabitants of Texas and in the legislators.

The press conference intervened one day after the legislators of the State of Texas GOP unveiled the first project of their new Congress redistribution card, as part of their efforts to return five seats held by Democrats in the red state in a reliable manner.

“We will see what is happening in the coming days, in the coming weeks. But the only thing I know is clear that the Democrats in Texas are fighting for people,” he added.

The republican thrust in Texas is part of a wider effort of the GOP across the country to keep control of the room and the losses of cushion elsewhere in the country, because the ruling party is traditionally confronted with political-opposite winds and loses seats in mid-term elections.

The Democrats only control 12 of the 38 districts of the State Congress, with a vacant blue seat after the death of March of the representative Sylvester Turner.

The GOP plan moves the democratic voters of competitive seats in the GOP districts nearby and takes republican voters in the neighboring districts that Democrats are currently controlling.

Governor Greg Abbott And Lieutenant-Governor Dan Patrick, both conservative Republicans and Trump allies, said they were to redirect due to constitutional concerns raised by the Ministry of Justice on a handful of districts dominated by minorities.

But this decision is potentially risky because it makes certain red districts that are formerly more competitive.

Rediscussing generally takes place at the beginning of each decade, based on the latest data in the American census. Rediscussing in mid-December is rare, but not unprecedented.

The Democrats slam Trump and the Texas Republicans for what they describe as a takeover, and promising to take legal action to prevent any change in the current Congress maps.

And the Democrats in the States dominated by blue are now trying to fight fire with fire.

“Two can play this game”, California Governor Gavin Newsom wrote on social networks recently.

The next day, after a meeting, the Democrats of the California Congress Delegation said they were on board with an ambitious plan to try to win at least five seats per redistribution. Democrats currently control 43 of the 52 districts of the Golden State congress.

Jeffries, after his two -day stop in Texas, went to California for meetings with state democrats.

But it will not be easy to implement the change, because in California, the Congress cards are fired by an independent commission which is not supposed to leave the partisanary influencing their work.

Newsom has suggested that the legislature under Democratic Control of the State is advancing with a royalty in mid-December of cards, arguing that it may not be prohibited by the 17-year-old voting initiative which created the Independent Commission.

The governor also quickly proposed a special election to repeal the commission before the mid-term elections of 2026.

The two plans are considered to be long shots, because they would be confronted with many legislative, legal and financial obstacles.

Democrats from other highly populated blue states, notably New York, Illinois and New Jersey, also plan to make changes to their cards, but have redistribution limits inscribed in their state constitutions.

Meanwhile, Ohio is obliged by the law to redirect this year, and a restart of the cards in the state with red sensations could provide GOP up to three other seats in the congress.

And the Republicans also reflect on redistribution of mid-December which could give the GOP some additional house seats in red states such as Florida, Missouri and Indiana.
