In the ongoing redistricting battle in Texas, Governor Greg Abbott has called for a second special legislative session as the first session concluded without a quorum due to the absence of Democratic lawmakers, who fled the state in protest. Texas House Speaker has vowed that any Democrats attempting to sneak back will face arrest. Amidst pressure from former President Barack Obama praising their efforts against what he termed an assault on democracy, Texas Democrats are indicating readiness to return under specific conditions. As the fight continues, the situation remains tense, with both sides preparing for further clashes over redistricting efforts poised to reshape congressional representation.
