Texas Governor Greg Abbott faced backlash for his comments on flood disaster management, implying blame from survivors and the media was inappropriate. Amid ongoing search and rescue operations, the Justice Department sent a letter alleging unconstitutional racial gerrymandering in Texas districts, which diverted attention from the state's flood crisis. A Republican lawmaker's recent testimony contradicted the Justice Department's claims about race considerations in redistricting. Abbott is calling for a special legislative session to address both disaster relief and potential redistricting in response to the Justice Department's letter.
The Justice Department's claim of unconstitutional racial gerrymanders in Texas congressional districts distracts from disaster handling, reflecting ongoing Republican efforts to benefit from electoral changes.
Governor Greg Abbott faced criticism for suggesting the media was engaging in the 'word choice of losers' regarding his handling of the flash flood disaster that killed 134 people.
