LIVE: Texas Democratic Lawmakers in Chicago as Election Redistricting Battle Heats Up | GOP | CNBC TV18 CHICAGO, IL - Democratic lawmakers from Texas hold another news conference from Chicago as election redistricting battle heats up. Governor of Illinois JB Pritzker meets with Texas Democrats after they prevented their state’s House of Representatives from moving forward with a redrawn congressional map sought by President Donald Trump The Texas House voted Monday afternoon to track down and arrest more than 50 Democratic lawmakers who were not present when the chamber gaveled in. After the 85-6 vote, House Speaker Dustin Burrows said he would immediately sign civil warrants for each of the legislators, empowering the chamber’s sergeant-at-arms and state troopers to arrest and bring them to the Capitol. They will not face civil or criminal charges from the arrests. The warrants apply only within state lines, making them largely symbolic as most of the legislators in question decamped to Illinois, New York and Massachusetts to forestall passage of the GOP’s proposed redraw of Texas’ congressional map. #texaspolitics #democrats #republicans #uspolitics #livenews #cnbctv18
