Padilla on redistricting effort: ‘If Republicans were confident on their policy agenda, they'd be eager to defend it’

Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) criticized Republicans for pushing a mid-decade redistricting effort in Texas, arguing that it shows a lack of confidence in their own policy agenda. He suggested that if Republicans truly believed in their economic message, they wouldn’t need to resort to redistricting ahead of the midterms and would instead focus on winning voters over at the ballot box.
