Evening Edition: Arrest Warrants Issued For Texas Democrats Who Fled The State

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

Texas Democrats who skipped town to stop redistricting efforts are now facing arrest after House Speaker Dustin Burrows signed off on civil arrest warrants, citing a “dereliction of duty”. Many of the Democrats that fled the state went to Chicago where Illinois Governor JB Pritzker rolled out the red carpet for them. Now, other Democrat Governors, Gov. Gavin Newsom in California and Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York are now vowing to conduct their own redistricting votes to combat the possible gains by Republicans in Congress. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Texas State Senator Mayes Middleton (R) who says his Democrat colleagues have let the State of Texas down, by not just avoiding the redistricting vote but by shutting down all legislative business, and they should face the consequences.
