New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has threatened to retaliate against Texas if the Greg Abbott administration moves forward with its redistricting push. However, a new report detailed that Democrats might need to wait years before taking concrete steps.
NBC News explained that a legislative referred constitutional amendment would only lead to a new congressional map in the 2028 election cycle. The outlet recalled that Hochul acknowledged the roadblock, saying in a recent interview "I wish I could just call a special election and change it," but "we have a constitutional amendment process that's required first."
