Texas Democrats geared up for another day of defiance against Gov. Greg Abbott and the state GOP as they try to move forward with their controversial redistricting.

Texas state Rep. Richard Peña Raymond battled a Republican redistricting plan in 2003. He's doing it again this year but staying in Texas to fight.

Texas Democrats on Saturday again prevented their state’s House of Representatives from moving forward with a Trump-backed plan to redraw Texas' congressional map. That redistricting plan would give Republicans an advantage in keeping control of the House of Representatives in D.

Many elected Democrats in Louisiana aren't following national party leaders into all-out war with Republicans.

Fleeing lawmakers in Texas are unlikely to stop Republicans from redrawing the state’s congressional maps, but their effort has offered a rallying cry—and a reminder of the Democratic Party’s weaknesses.
