In a dramatic act of protest on Sunday, Democratic members of the Texas House of Representatives began to flee the state. It is a last-ditch attempt to stop President Trump and Texas Republicans from adopting an aggressively redrawn congressional map that would eliminate Democratic seats — and could help lock in a Republican majority in next year’s elections.

Shane Goldmacher, a Times political correspondent, explains this new chapter in the era of unvarnished partisan warfare.

Guest: Shane Goldmacher, a political correspondent for The New York Times.

Background reading:

• The redrawn map • , unveiled by Texas Republicans and pushed by Mr. Trump, puts areas of Houston, Dallas and San Antonio that have incumbent Democrats into districts that would now favor Republicans.

• • “ We’re leaving Texas to fight for Texans • ,” Gene Wu, a state representative from Houston and the chair of the Democratic caucus in the Texas House, said in a statement Sunday.
