Texas Democrats end walkout as GOP-controlled legislature prepares to vote on redistricting maps that could flip five congressional seats to Republicans

Gavin Newsom's redistricting effort took a big step forward with Democratic lawmakers back in session this week to try and get the bill on the November ballot. Monday, California Democrats and Republicans held dueling press conferences at the California State Capitol.

Republican state senators filed a petition Tuesday with the California Supreme Court in an attempt to postpone the legislative process.

Texas Democrats ended their walkout and returned as Republicans advance a redistricting plan that would likely create five new GOP congressional seats.

The vote will take place after Democrats returned to the House Monday, which established a quorum for the first time in two weeks.
