House to reconvene in afternoon, but enough Democrats remain outside state to deny quorum for a second day
Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Republicans are entitled to the five more seats they could pick up if congressional maps proposed by Texas Republicans are passed.
Trump called in for an interview with CNBC Tuesday morning, less than a day after Texas Democrats denied a legislative quorum by fleeing the state, with many decamping to Chicago, Illinois where the Democratic governor, JB Pritzker, has vowed to protect them.
