Live from NPR News, I'm Jial Snyder, Texas Republican Senator John Cornin say...
"I've said throughout this race that I trust the voters of Texas, and they've made their decision and I must respect it."
“"Cornin was defeated in Tuesday's Republican Senate runoff by State Attorney General Ken Paxton,”
one President Trump's endorsement last week, despite multiple scandals, including whistleblower allegations and an impeachment by the Texas House," he was acquitted by the State Senate. The South Carolina State Senate has rejected President Trump's post to redraw the congressional districts to boost Republicans' chances to gain an extra seat. The proposal passed by the South Carolina House last week, but senators rejected the effort Tuesday, as early in-person voting got underway for the State's two-night primary elections.
Some senators said it was simply too late to make a change, others worried the move could backfire.
While the federal court to Alabama has blocked that state's redistricting plan to necessize new congressional maps have listed their first legal challenge,
very on a bucking out, a member stationed WPL in reports. A three-judge panel in Tennessee rejected an emergency petition filed by the NAACP to stop the new congressional map from going into effect. The change splits the state's majority black city of Memphis into three different districts. The NAACP had argued that the general assembly went beyond its authority when it struck down a 50-year-old law prohibiting mid-decade redistricting. The judge's disagreed.
“The petition is the first of four lawsuits seeking to block the new map, and a separate lawsuit by the NAACP filed in federal court is still going forward.”
