U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will be in Austin Wednesday to meet privately with Democratic members of the Legislature to talk about strategies to derail, or least delay, Republicans' push to redraw the state's congressional map.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is headed to Austin to meet with Texas House Democrats to discuss Republican attempts to redraw the state's congressional map, which could potentially give Republicans five additional seats in the U.

At President Trump’s urging, Texas is trying to squeeze up to five Democrats out of office to pad Republicans’ slim majority in the House.
