AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Democrats ended a two-week walkout Monday that stalled Republican efforts to redraw congressional districts as part of a national partisan brawl over President Donald Trump’s desire to reshape U.S. House maps to his advantage.

The national party is seeking to frame the quorum break as galvanizing event for Democrats. Texas Republicans are likely to pass the redistricted maps.

The Texas House reached a quorum earlier Monday after Democrats returned to Austin ending a two-week standoff with Republicans over proposed congressional maps.

Texas Democratic legislator Nicole Collier says she will remain locked in the Austin statehouse chamber until the House reconvenes Wednesday morning, the latest development in the two-week saga involving a redrawing of Texas’ congressional map.
