California Democrats introduced a legislative package to call a special election in November to redraw the state's congressional districts to counter GOP efforts in other states.

Democratic leaders say they will return for a second special legislative session after seeing California Democratic leaders proceed with plans to redraw their own U.S. House maps to neutralize Republican gains in Texas.

Democratic lawmakers in Texas returned to the state on Monday, ending a walkout that broke quorum and blocked Republican efforts to redraw congressional maps at the behest of U.S. President Donald Trump.
