State Rep. James Talarico on Why He Fled Texas to Fight Gerrymandering

Season 2025 Episode 7294 | 17m 59s

In Texas, a new redistricting plan backed by Republicans is causing a political standoff. Critics accuse the GOP of a partisan power grab as they look to gerrymander the voting map to secure more safe seats ahead of the next congressional election – so say the Democrats, many of whom have left the state in an attempt to stall the proposal. State Rep. James Talarico joins Michel Martin to explain.
