Rev. Al Sharpton highlights political stories and issues requiring a national platform.
On today’s episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton discusses the Texas House, which adjourned in just minutes again due to over a dozen Democratic lawmakers being absent. This absence prevents Texas Republicans from achieving the quorum needed to advance a congressional redistricting map that would strengthen their majority.
Republican lawmakers are calling on the federal government to intervene, specifically asking Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker to return the missing legislators and urging the Texas Supreme Court to remove them from office.
This stand-off appears to have energized Democrats, who are looking for ways to resist the Trump agenda. Prominent Democratic governors are offering support to Texas legislators, with some ready to challenge Republicans on redistricting ahead of the midterms.
