Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a possible 2028 presidential candidate, took in Texas Democrats who fled their state to block a Republican-led redistricting plan.

Pritzker has arranged for roughly 30 Democratic lawmakers to stay in Illinois for the week. Politico was first to report the lawmakers had left the state.

Democrats are calling the Republican-led mid-decade redistricting plan in Texas "cheating", while Republicans accuse them of hypocrisy, as both sides are galvanizing in the fight over the proposed map that would give the GOP an edge in five Democratic districts.
