During a segment on Hannity, Hugh Hewitt and Reince Priebus discussed the current state of Texas politics, particularly focusing on the state legislature’s handling of redistricting. Priebus argued that the practice of gerrymandering, which involves drawing electoral district boundaries to favor a particular party, is not inherently illegal and is a common political strategy. He suggested that the recent decision by Texas Democrats to avoid voting on a new congressional map reflects a broader pattern of legislative maneuvering.
Hewitt, however, raised questions about the legality and fairness of gerrymandering, noting that such practices can undermine the democratic process. The debate highlighted the ongoing tensions within the Texas political landscape, with discussions about election integrity and party strategy remaining at the forefront. As the legislative session progresses, the implications of these decisions could affect both state and national elections.
