Both Texas Republicans and Democrats are ratcheting up their rhetoric over proposed US House maps that could give the GOP five more seats. But the action in Austin is stalled for now. Most Democrats who left the state to stop the redistricting effort are showing no signs they will come back to Texas. Republicans are escalating their threats, with Gov. Greg Abbott going to court to request the removal of a Houston lawmaker from office. And President Donald Trump is keeping the pressure on, saying Tuesday on CNBC that Republicans are “entitled” to five more US House seats in Texas.
CNN’s Ed Lavandera reports from Austin, and Audie Cornish speaks with David Daley, author of “Ratf**ked: Why Your Vote Doesn’t Count.” #CNN #News
