Texas House Democrats encouraged to deny quorum during special by top members of the national party including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries
Quorum Report has learned that Jeffries, former AG Eric Holder, and DNC Chair Martin were listed as speakers to the caucus this week, encouraging state lawmakers not to help the GOP redraw Congressional districts in Trump’s bid to avoid another impeachment
With less
than a week to go before a special session is set to start next Monday in Austin,
Texas House Democrats are coming under increased pressure from national leaders
in their party to prevent Republican leadership from redrawing congressional
districts.
The urgency
was underscored by a meeting of the Democratic Caucus in which US House
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and others were slated to speak to
legislators about what’s at stake and to strategize about the situation.
