Texas Democrats Return to Capitol, Ending Redistricting Standoff

Texas Democrats returned to the state House after a two-week walkout over a GOP redistricting plan, enabling the passage of a map that favors Republicans and sparking a broader national debate on redistricting and representation. The walkout was a protest against the map, which aims to add GOP seats, and the Democrats plan to challenge it in court while rallying support for their cause across the country.
