​​Why are Texan Democrats on the run?​​ | BBC Americast


​​Texas Republicans have voted for the arrest of dozens of Democratic legislators.

“There are no rules anymore, apparently.”
​​
​​That’s what Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said on Monday, standing alongside the Democrat lawmakers who fled Texas to prevent a vote which would redraw the state’s political map in favour of the Republican Party.
​​
​​It’s a process known as ‘redistricting’, which normally occurs at the end of each decade when the census takes place. But in a move designed to give the Republicans a crucial advantage heading into the 2026 Midterms, Donald Trump has wants it to take place now. It would give Republicans five extra seats in the House.
​​
​​It’s an unconventional request by Donald Trump’s administration, but Democrat governors are now threatening to do the same thing in their states, including California Governor Gavin Newsom.
​​
​​Justin and Anthony discuss whether this a fight the Democrats can win, and whether this is an audition for some 2028 presidential hopefuls.
