Flanked by Texas Democratic lawmakers who fled their state to block a vote on a new congressional map that would flip five Democrat-held House seats to the GOP, Hochul said New York Democrats would explore "every option to redraw our state congressional lines as soon as possible" to stop Trump's "legal insurrection against our Capitol."

Flanked by Democratic lawmakers from Texas, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said the state should abandon its commitment to nonpartisan districts and instead let Democrats redraw maps to maximize their political power. The Democratic governor said Monday that the state should scrap the Independent Redistricting Commission enacted by voters in 2014.
