Judge Blocks Beto O’Rourke's Financial Support Amid Texas Redistricting Dispute
A Texas judge has temporarily barred Beto O’Rourke and his group, Powered by People, from fundraising or supporting Texas Democrats who left the state to block a new congressional map, amid legal challenges from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. O’Rourke filed a counter-lawsuit, claiming the investigation is a political attack, as the state seeks to enforce laws and procedures related to legislative quorum and redistricting.
