Texas Democratic legislators left the state on Sunday in an effort to obstruct the passage of a Republican-backed redistricting plan. The Democrats' action aims to prevent a quorum in the Texas legislature, effectively stalling the vote on the proposed map, which they argue unfairly favors the Republican party. The redistricting plan has received support from former President Donald Trump. The Democrats' departure raises questions about the future of the legislative session and the redrawing of congressional districts in Texas.
