Democrats have fought Republicans to a draw after California matched Texas by redrawing the lines of five House seats and likely blocked a Missouri map that eliminated one Democratic seat. The pressure from the White House and the violent threats escalated after the Indiana Senate adjourned the first special session on redistricting called by Gov. State Sen. Greg Goode, a Republican from Indiana, was one of several GOP state senators to face violent threats for opposing Trump's redistricting push. These threats flowed from Trump’s increasingly angry diatribes against Republicans who would not do as he demands.
