On Tuesday, New York Governor Kathy Hochul published an op-ed in the Houston Chronicle condemning Texas Republicans’ push to redraw the state’s congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms, calling the effort a “legal insurrection” and urging Democrats nationwide to “fight fire with fire.”
In the op-ed, Hochul criticized the proposed Texas map, which could give Republicans up to five additional U.S. House seats.
