California Democrats are moving full steam ahead on their efforts to counter Texas’s mid-decade redistricting plan despite Lone Star State Republicans escalating their crackdown on absent state Democrats who fled the state.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), along with congressional and state leaders from California, held a press conference on Friday to provide further details on California’s redistricting plan and offer support to the Texas Democrats who left the state last weekend. Over a dozen Texas state leaders were in attendance.
