Showdown in Texas: Abbott’s Redistricting Push Faces Democrat Walkout

Governor Abbott’s special session to redraw congressional maps, aiming for five new GOP seats, is stalled as 52 Democrats fled to blue states like New York and Illinois, denying the House quorum. Texas law requires 100 of 150 House members present, and with the session limited to 30 days, this move halts all business. But look folks, Abbott’s not playing around, he’s set a 3:00 PM Central deadline today, August 4, threatening $500 daily fines and citing AG Ken Paxton’s opinion to vacate absent Democrats’ seats for dereliction of duty. If he appoints 50 Republicans, it’s a game-changer for MAGA, signaling no more caving to the establishment. This could reshape the midterms!

Should Governor Abbott vacate these seats? Let me know in the comments.👇
