Texas Democrats, who broke quorum in an attempt to prevent Republicans’ gerrymander of the state, on Friday said they were proud of the fight they had put up thus far in their state but signaled that chapter may be coming to a close, with the battle playing out on the national level in the future.

After two weeks in Chicago, Texas Democrats say they’re ready to "pass the baton" and may return soon. They’ve shifted the fight against GOP gerrymandering to a national stage, citing California’s new map proposal. Gov. Greg Abbott and AG Ken Paxton threaten action, but lawmakers remain defiant and haven’t set a return date.
