Republican Texas Government Greg Abbott If the democracies don’t return to Austin, it threatens to increase the party’s rezoning margins.

“What I think now is that if they don’t start showing up, I might start expanding,” Abbott said. “We might add six or seven or eight new seats to the Republican side.”
“The wall is just ten feet,” Josh Holmes joked “ruthless.”
Abbott believes the fight ends with Democratic lawmakers returning to Texas, whether it’s “tomorrow,” “next week” or “next month.”
“They will come back or we will be able to track them. One way or another, they will come back and will pass through these maps,” Abbott said.
The Texas governor also touted his ongoing efforts to get Democratic lawmakers removed from office, hoping that this would be a deterrent for their future attempts to pull similar stunts.
