Gov. Kathy Hochul is promoting the gerrymandering of congressional districts in New York, urging an end to 2012 redistricting reforms. This shift in strategy aims to counteract Republican efforts in Texas to redraw district lines. Hochul emphasized that saving Democracy is a priority, even at the potential cost of good governance principles. She was joined by Texas Democratic representatives, who are opposing Republican efforts in their state. The move has been criticized as a political stunt by New York Republicans.
"If that's what's called for, that's what's called for," Hochul said, asked if Democrats are abandoning good government and good Democracy principles in an effort to 'save Democracy.' "Saving Democracy is my top priority at any cost," she added.
"The playing field has changed, not just for Democrats, but all Americans, and it's time to meet them on the new field," Texas House Democratic Vice Chair Mihaela Plesa said.
"He's making up some s-t, OK? He's trying to get soundbites and he has no legal mechanism," Texas Rep. Jolanda Jones said.
New York Republicans dismissed this visit as a political stunt.
