The fleeing lawmakers aimed to deny Republicans the quorum needed to pass the new map, which would increase Republican seats in Texas from 25 to possibly 30 out of 38, jeopardizing safe Democratic districts like CrockettS. At the news conference, Crockett declared herself the final speaker but was later rightly interrupted by Texas State Representative Ron Reynolds, causing some visible frustration. Crockett criticized Republicans and President Donald Trump, accusing them of dictatorial tendencies. The article also highlights accusations of hypocrisy, noting that Democrats fleeing Texas over alleged gerrymandering are currently in Illinois and New York-states themselves criticized for heavy Democratic gerrymandering. While Texas&#8217;s proposed map is not described as extreme gerrymandering, the piece argues that Democratic gerrymandering in other states has contributed to the narrow Republican majority in the U.S. House despite Trump&#8217;s significant electoral victories.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>U.S. Rep.
