While Gov. Kathy Hochul and her likely opponent in the 2026 election spar over Texas’ proposal to redraw its congressional boundaries a half-decade early, state Democrats have introduced a legislative response that will take three years to come to fruition.

( NewsNation) — New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said the state will be redrawing state district lines as soon as possible and said “the gloves are off” in a national fight over redistricting. “Here in New York, we will not stand on the sidelines with timid souls,” Hochul, a Democrat, said. “This is a war; we are at war.”
