House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has indicated that Democratic-controlled states, including New York, are prepared to respond to the Republican-led Texas Legislature's recent redrawing of congressional districts. While Jeffries did not provide specific details on the strategies Democrats in states outside California, such as New York, might employ to counter what they view as Republican gerrymandering in Texas, he emphasized that there will be a fightback. Jeffries also faced criticism for supporting a move in New York to discard congressional maps drawn by the state's independent redistricting commission, a point highlighted by the National Republican Congressional Committee. Despite this, Jeffries maintained that responses from Democratic states will be measured and appropriate. The ongoing redistricting battle underscores the broader partisan conflict over electoral maps ahead of future elections.
