Gov. JB Pritzker on Tuesday opened the door further to a potential mid-decade congressional remap in Illinois, as Texas Democrats continued their Midwestern refuge and Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin vowed to fight GOP efforts “tooth and nail.”

“This is not the Democratic Party of your grandfather, which would bring a pencil to the knife fight. This is a new Democratic Party,” Martin said at an Aurora news conference alongside Pritzker and Texas Democrats. “We’re bringing a knife to a knife fight, and we’re going to fight, fight and fight.”

Texas Democrats are in Illinois, New York and Massachusetts to deny Republicans a quorum needed to approve new maps that would expand the state’s GOP congressional majority ahead of next year’s midterm elections, at the behest of President Donald Trump.

Even as Martin countered the president’s comments, saying, “No party is entitled to any district,” Democrats in New York, California and Illinois are threatening to redraw their own maps in retaliation — and the DNC is prepared to support them.
