after Failed to reach a quorum at Texas House on Monday,
In a special interview with CBS News Texas, Monday, Governor Abbott said“What we are looking for all the options. We are looking at a lot of different options to ensure that we have fairness. If you compare Texas with California or Illinois or New York or Massachusetts, those states are actually gorders and rarely there is hardly any republican.”
Asked whether Texas has also gripped the districts, the governor said, “Okay, no, there is a high percentage of Democrats in Texas, compared to the Congress delegation, Republican in California, Illinois, New York and Massachusetts. So if Texas has attracted its maps to attract its maps. That may be possible. ”
Among the 52 Congress seats in California, Republicans serve in just nine. In Illinois, only 3 of the 17 Congress districts of the state are served by Republicans. In Texas, Democrats placed 13 of the 38 Congress seats in the state.
Abbott calls Democrat
The governor called Texas Democrats, who continue to break the quorum and prevent the House from voting on a new Congress map in favor of Republican. Last week, Abbott Filed a case The Texas along with the Supreme Court to remove House Democratic Cocks President Jean Wu, who led the Democrat on his out-of-state quorum brake.
Democrats have said what they are doing that their constituents want to do them and pointed to the opinion of the Supreme Court four years ago, stating that the Texas Constitution enables them to break quorum. Asked why this is not enough protection for Democrats, Abbott said, “An interstate highway enables you to go up to 100 mph, but does not authorize it. It is against the law. Even if the Constitution enables Democrats to break the quorum, the Constitution does not authorize them to do so.
Asked whether there is a need to change the constitution because it does not clearly ban the breaking of quorum, or if they feel that it will resolve it by winning the case, then Abbott said, “If the Supreme Court has made rules in favor of the rules in favor of the lawsuit, it will end to break the quorum. They did not think that they would not write and do not work.”
Remove Democrat from your seats
On Monday, the Supreme Court released a prompt program to register its legal brief for both the Governor and Representative Wu. The deadline expands by 4 September.
Democratic MPs who have been in Capital and who have broken quorum and are out of the state have criticized the Governor and Republican. The Democratic Representative Eddie Morales or Eagle Pass told CBS News Texas on Monday, “I would say that the last 30 years of the Republican controlled statewide office from the top have put us in the position that we are failing 100% and is making sure that all the taxes are being well represented, that they are being well -known, that they are playing this political theater and these political sports.”
Representative Raman Romero, Junior, D-Fort Worth, who also serves as the chairman of the Mexican American Legislative Cocks, CBS News Texas said on Monday that he believes that Republicans would lose the House in next year’s mid-term elections. “They are preparing for heavy losses in 2026, and that is why they have to do at the cost of Latini voices that have been in Congress for a long time and have got huge support from their communities. That’s really happening.”
Democrats have vowed to stay away for the rest of the special session which ends on August 19. Asked if he would start the second special session on the same day, the Governor said he would do it.
