Democrats fight back as Texas GOP eyes redistricting advantage
Progressive talk show host Thom Hartmann joined The Final 5 to discuss the internal battles within the Democratic Party as Republicans in Texas push a controversial redistricting effort aimed at gaining congressional seats. As Democratic lawmakers flee the state to block the GOP-led vote, Hartmann criticized the party?s centrist establishment for failing to embrace widely supported progressive policies like universal health care and free college. He argued that progressives represent the will of the people?but are being held back by party elites beholden to corporate donors.
