Democratic leaders from California and Texas talk about countering Republican efforts in Texas on redistricting. The press conference is from Aug. 8.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared shoulder-to-shoulder Friday with Texas Democratic lawmakers in a show of support for their nearly weeklong walkout, which has blocked a vote on congressional redistricting maps sought by President Donald Trump in a widening national battle over U.

Texas Democrats who are breaking quorum to avoid voting on redrawing Congressional maps in their home state will be in Sacramento on Friday.
