"Runaway" lawmakers return as Texas passes a bill on redistricting congressional districts.

Jin10 data reported on August 21, local time on August 20, the Texas House of Representatives passed a bill regarding the redistricting of congressional districts. The district map was drawn at the request of U.S. President Trump, aiming to add five seats for the Republican Party in next year's midterm elections. On the 18th, dozens of Democratic lawmakers from the state ended their "walkout" and returned to Texas. The leader of the Texas House Democrats stated that their return was motivated by the achievement of the two goals previously mentioned: the current special legislative session was prematurely concluded on the 15th due to the Democrats' boycott; and California and other Democrat-led states are considering redistricting their own congressional districts to compensate for the potential loss of congressional seats by Democrats in Texas.
