PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton - Season 2025 Episode 62 -

On today's episode of Politics Nation, host Reverend Al Sharpton addresses the situation in the Texas State House, which will reconvene tomorrow. However, Republicans are unlikely to vote on their redistricting map, backed by President Trump, as several Texas Democrats remain in Illinois and California in protest. Governor Greg Abbott mentioned that this stand-off could last for years, with Republicans claiming Democrats are just as guilty of redistricting manipulation. Vice President J.D. Vance even claimed Democrats have inflated census numbers by adding undocumented immigrants to blue states. In turn, Democratic governors have challenged Republicans, expressing their readiness to confront the redistricting issue while dismissing threats of federal law enforcement targeting Texas Democrats. And that is where we begin tonight.
