Texas House Democrats returned to the Capitol this week, touting their two-week quorum break as a success “beyond their wildest dreams” and pledging to advance the fight against a redistricting bill that could net Republicans five congressional seats in next year’s midterm elections.

Democratic leaders from coast to coast ripped Texas state Republicans on Wednesday for approving a new Congressional map that gives the GOP an opportunity to net five additional House seats in next year’s midterm elections.

Texas Republicans are moving closer to approving new congressional maps amid a Democratic show of protest over the GOP House speaker’s order that members who fled the state weeks earlier be placed under law enforcement watch.
