Last week, more than 50 Texas House Democrats left that state in an attempt to deny the Republican-controlled legislature a quorum for its special session. Among the agenda items in that special session: redrawing Congressional districts ... to give Republicans another five seats in the U.S. House.
That has kickstarted debates in red and blue states about creating new partisan redistricting efforts.
Some of the Democrats who left Texas came to Illinois, where they've gotten the support of Governor Pritzker and other Democratic politicians. Two journalists following this story join today's program.
