Texas state Rep. Gene Wu joined a private strategy call on Thursday with Democratic leaders from other GOP-led states that might also redraw their maps.

Texas Senate Democrats plan to filibuster the House-passed redistricting map during floor debate on Friday in a last-ditch effort to delay the final passage of the plan to create five new winnable seats for the GOP.

California Democrats landed their counterpunch to Texas on Thursday, just a day after Texas Republicans advanced their redrawn map that had come at the urging of President Donald Trump with the aim of padding their House majority by five seats.
