Trump says Republicans are “right” to five other seats in Congress in Texas Texas
Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the Republicans have the right to obtain the other five seats that they can capture if the Congress maps that the Republicans proposed in Texas are approved.
Trump called an interview with CNBC on Tuesday morning, before Democrats in Texas denied the legislative quorum for the second consecutive day by fleeing the state, with many delivery to Chicago, Illinois, where the democratic ruler, JB Pritzker, pledged to protect them.
“We have a chance in Texas to pick up five seats,” Trump said. “We have a really good ruler, and we have good people in Texas. I won in Texas. I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you know, and we have the right to get five other seats.”
The president added: “In Illinois, what happened is terrible what they do.” “They noticed that they went to Illinois for safety, but that’s all.
Trump has not provided any evidence of disposal of players in democratic control. California voters agreed to the Independent Sites Requesting Committee for the first time in the state in 2010, but the democratic ruler, Gavin News, indicated that he would play a free ball and invite special elections to this committee so that the Democrats in California can of the state maps before 2026.
Pritzker also said that Illinois may respond to Texas’s efforts by re -drawing its own map for the benefit of the Democrats, given that “everything should be on the table.”
“Trump has reached a new plan to manipulate the regime by ascending through a corrupt plan in the middle of the decade that would steal five seats in Congress, and to silence millions of voters, especially black and Latin voters,” said Pritzker.
At one in the afternoon, the Texas house regained local time on Tuesday, but enough Democrats were still outside the state to deny the quorum for the second day. “There are 94 members present, the quorum does not exist,” said the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dustin Buroz, a Republican. Al -Jahour added that the Ministry of Public Safety in Texas “is actively working to force their presence after it signed the orders of civil detention yesterday.”
He said that the house will re -enjoy and try to make the quorum again on Friday.
Democratic actor Lulu Flores CNN told her that she and several Democratic members traveled to Illinois “plan to stay as long as it takes it to stop plans to re -divide Republicans.
The current private legislative session, which was invited by the Republican Governor in Texas, Greg Abbott, continues until August 19. “This is the least time we expect to be here,” Flores added.
Abbott can continue to summon additional special sessions, and it is not clear the time when Democrats can remain outside the state. Each legislator escapes a fine of $ 500 a day, and Abbot ordered the Ministry of Public Safety in Texas to “determine the location of any member of the House of Representatives, that is, a member who abandoned their duty towards Texas.”
Flores told CNN that legal threats were “disturbing”, but she added: “I don’t know that he has anything to support that.”
