AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Democrats ended a two-week walkout Monday that stalled Republican efforts to redraw congressional districts as part of a national partisan brawl over President Donald Trump’s desire to reshape U.S. House maps to his advantage.

Republican lawmakers in California have filed suit seeking to block action on Governor Gavin Newsom's , which aims to create five new Democratic U.S. congressional seats in his state to counter a similar move in Texas favoring Republicans.

Republicans can move ahead with redrawing Texas’ congressional districts now that Democratic lawmakers have returned to the state.
