Texas Democrats got a heroes’ welcome on opening day of the Democratic National Committee’s summer meeting in Minneapolis, with DNC Chair Ken Martin and Texas House Minority Leader Gene Wu outlining their response to Republicans’ redistricting plan.

“We’re fighting fire with fire in Texas with a massive mobilization effort, and working alongside brave Texas Democrats who are standing up and squaring up with [Gov.] Greg Abbott and [President] Donald Trump,” Martin said in his opening remarks on Aug. 25.
