Democrats face intense pressure from liberal voters to abandon traditional political norms and respond aggressively to Republican tactics, particularly regarding gerrymandering. Congressional Democrats express significant frustration, declaring the situation existential for the party. The Texas GOP aims to redraw congressional maps to favor their candidates, prompting Democratic governors in states like California and New York to threaten similar actions. Promises of gerrymandering have shifted from threats to likely reality, as Democrats recognize the necessity of an effective strategy to protect their positions and counteract Republican efforts before the 2026 elections.
"Hakeem is clearly upset and angry and frustrated by this... It's existential now."
"Democratic Governors and state legislators can either fight back, or they can let Donald Trump and Republicans steal the midterm elections."
