On August 4, Jin10 reported that Democratic lawmakers in Texas announced they would leave the state to temporarily halt Republicans from advancing their redistricting plans, a redistricting initiative pushed by Trump aimed at expanding Republican power in the 2026 midterm elections. By "walking out," the Democrats would prevent the state legislature from reaching the minimum quorum needed for a vote. Texas House Democratic leader Gene Wu stated, "We are not shirking our responsibilities, but protesting a manipulated system that refuses to listen to the voice of the people." The timing of this redistricting is unusual, as Trump has listed it as one of the core strategies to help the Republican Party expand its power in the 2026 midterm elections. In response, Democratic governors like California's Newsom and New York's Hochul threatened to retaliate by redrawing their own state districts.
