Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott on Tuesday asked the Texas Supreme Court to remove Democratic Caucus Chair Gene Wu from office, after Wu and more than 50 Democratic legislators fled the state to block Republicans from redrawing Texas’s congressional district map. This is Democratic Caucus Chair Wu.

Rep. Gene Wu: “This isn’t my seat. This seat belongs to the people of the state of Texas. Until the people of the state of Texas tell me to go away, I will stay here and fight with everything that I have. This is not about me. This is not about Democrats. This is not about political power. This is about protecting what we believe and love about America.”

This comes as Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel to track down and arrest the Democratic state legislators. President Trump was asked about the FBI intervening and said they “may have to.”

Meanwhile, California legislators are pushing through their own redistricting efforts. They’re expected to vote on a new congressional map in the coming days, after which California Governor Gavin Newsom plans to put the proposal to a vote on November 4.
