Texas Democrats who left the state to stymie Republicans over redistricting have returned to Austin, ending a two-week standoff over President Donald Trump’s plan to carve out five new GOP congressional seats.

Texas Democratic lawmakers are returning to the state as a second special legislative session gets underway. The representatives spent two weeks outside Texas to block a vote on new congressional maps backed by President Donald Trump that could shift as many as five seats in the US House of Representatives to Republicans.

Dozens of Democratic legislators who fled Texas to halt an aggressive redistricting drive ended their two-week standoff on Monday, clearing the way for a new electoral map pushed by Republican President Donald Trump.
