Pritzker, DNC chair give remarks amid Texas redistricting fight
by The Hill Staff
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) and Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin will give remarks to reporters Tuesday morning, as the redistricting fight in Texas shines light on Democrats’ efforts to expand the Voting Rights Act (VRA).
The duo will be joined by a group of Texas Democrats who fled to Illinois as the GOP in the state looks to pass a new Congressional map — with the support of President Trump. The Democrats argued the move violates the VRA and could give Republicans an unfair advantage in the 2026 midterms.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) threatened the Democrats with arrests, as their move stalled votes. Pritzker has vowed to help protect those who left the Lone Star State.
