In New York, Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul announced that the state would abandon independent, nonpartisan redistricting after Texas Republicans pushed a new congressional map that would give the GOP five extra seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Governor Hochul was joined by Texas Democratic legislators who fled the state to block the GOP’s redistricting effort.

Gov. Kathy Hochul: “This is a war. We are at war. And that’s why the gloves are off. And I say, 'Bring it on.'”
