Democratic state lawmakers from Texas say they’re prepared to end their nearly two-week walkout that has blocked Republicans from redrawing Texas’s congressional maps. On Thursday, state representative and Democratic leader Gene Wu of Houston said in a statement that lawmakers agreed to return to Texas, but only after a special legislative session called by Republican Governor Greg Abbott officially ends today. Republican leaders had sought to arrest or remove from office Democrats who fled Texas to deny Republicans a quorum to ram through a new, gerrymandered map.
