Texas Democrats flee state over primary fears, GOP lawmaker claims

Many Democrats in Texas who fled the state of Lun Star to the states of the Democrats in the midst of the reserves re -dividing the political circles are the political occurrence for fear that it will be exposed to “a person madly” within the party.

“If they come back, they will lose in the preliminary elections of a more socialist person than they are,” Kane told Fox News Digital in an interview with Takbar Thursday. “So, yes, they are actually out of fear, they are not afraid of Republican legislation, but for fear of their people. Thus, they will continue to sit outside the country, all because of the fear that someone will be more crazy than them than being crazy.”

“I can tell you that many of them do not want to be there. They know that they will eventually lose, but because their party runs a group of madness, they should be there,” followed by the Democrats who left the state before Monday.

Dozens of legislators in the democratic states of Texas fled for liberal strongholds such as Illinois, Massachusetts and New York to prevent the legal quorum of a special session as the state lawmakers prepared to vote on the re -dominant congress map before the mid -2026 period.

The state lawmakers have reported that they were planning to be absent from the state until the end of August, when the special session ends.

The Texas law requires at least two thirds of the legislators in any of the two sizes to move forward in legislative matters, as the Democratic Minority Party currently holds 62 seats in Texas’s house to 88.

Texas’s house was in complete stopping since the Democrats fled during the weekend. Kane explained that six Democrats in the Austin region this week, which means that six other democrats are wanted before the body was able to reach the quorum.

Kane said he heard three additional democrats in the Houston region and are likely to “mock the Republicans” to arrest them because of their absence.

“They are older members, and they make fun of us to arrest them with the idea that” who will arrest the grandmother? It is a kind of smart play by Democrats.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dustin Buroz, signed the arrest orders of the absent Democrats on Monday, following the approval of the House of Representatives for these notes, and the ruler of Abbott called on the Public Safety Department in Texas to arrest the “delayed democrats in Texas.” Detention orders are largely seen as symbolic because they only apply to those in the state lines.

On Thursday, Senator John Cornas told the FBI that the FBI approved his request to help determine the location of the displaced lawmakers, as the Republicans are working to reach the quorum at the return of the Democrats.

“I thank President Trump and director Patel for their support and quickly spent my invitation to the federal government to hold these supposed lawmakers to those fleeing from Texas,” Corn said in a press statement on Thursday. “We cannot allow these rogue lawmakers to avoid their constitutional responsibilities.”

Cain Fox Digital told Republicans “everything in our authority” after Democrats fled the state, including launching investigations into possible bribery. Texas Pakiston Public Prosecutor announced on Wednesday in the former presidential candidate Beto Ourok Non -profit, supported by people, for allegations that it helps in financing democratic immigration from the state, which he described as a political bribe.

“Possible bribery is investigated,” Caen told Fox Digital. “The Public Prosecutor has launched an investigation into the Beto O’Rourke for bribery as well. I will tell you, under the Penal Code in Texas, or to submit, accept or accept intentionally … It is a benefit for an elected official in exchange for their vote or a kind of estimated investigations, such as attending to work, is a bribe here in Texas.

In response to the investigation, the Republicans in Texas described the “thugs” who were trying to “steal our country” and accused Paxon of the same bribe.

Democratic conservatives, such as Illinois Governor GB Pritzker and New York Governor Cathy Hochol, opened their example to the Democrats in Texas who fled the state of Lun Star.

Cain noticed that the paradox was not lost on him that the Democrats fled to countries with a long history that embraces the voting lines in GerryMandERED.

“The paradox of this entire withdrawal, of course, go to the countries that are one of the worst countries that we have seen.

“We are now able to expose and show the maps of these hypocrites and show them to the world. They also call themselves brave. But with regard to the ruler Greg Abbott, they are not Texas, they do not run a battle.”

Democrats in Texas escape from the state to prevent Trump -backed voting in a dramatic legislative step

Texas lawmakers used the fracture of the quorum as a political strategy dating back to 1870, and the last time was revealed in 2021, when lawmakers in Democrats to Washington, DC, fled to try to prevent the approval of voting legislation and election safety, as well as walking for the year 2004 also to retain.

Kane said that history shows such exciting actions that have not been proven fruitful for Democrats.

“Democrats have lost seats every time they return – it may be a hint that voters do not appreciate these things. We are still going through legislation. So it is really an expensive and and useless step as it is just a pure theater, an opportunity to go and collect donations, but in reality they do not stand on democracy at all. Instead, they are just pure obstacles and their eyes from the people who were elected.”

president Donald Trump The re -division of circles in Texas, including the reference, encouraged Tuesday that efforts to restore a section in Texas may lead to the Republican Party five seats.

“In California, everything,” Trump said during an interview with CNBC on Tuesday. “We have a chance in Texas to capture five seats. We have a really good ruler, and we have good people in Texas. I won Texas. I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you know, and it is reluctant to have any other seats.”

For Cain, the circuits in Texas are needed as the population composition has turned since 2020, when the state has last restored the voting maps.

“Over the past few years, Texas has changed dramatically, our population has changed dramatically, not only from the open border policies of Jo Biden, but also because of our great economic conditions that have escaped from people in California, Ilinois and Boston, and want to live here.
