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.

US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of shooting down a US helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz and vowed to respond to the attack out of “necessity”.
Two crew members of the downed Apache helicopter were rescued by an American sea drone, US Central Command (Centcom) said.
“There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.”
It was not immediately clear what the US response would be, but any military action risks inflaming the shaky ceasefire with Iran once again. There has been no immediate response from Tehran on the US president’s comments.
