Democratic Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin is reportedly planning to go “nuclear” if Texas Republicans pursue a redistricting plan backed by President Donald Trump.
“If they’re going to go nuclear in Texas, I’m going to go nuclear in other places,” Slotkin said during an interview with Axios on Wednesday.
She added, “I’m not going to … fight with one arm tied behind my back. I don’t want to do that, but if they’re proposing to rig the game … we’re going to get in that game and fight.”
Slotkin’s comments reflect a growing anxiety among Democrats as redistricting talks intensify in Texas.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told reporters Thursday, “It’s all options on the table at this moment,” according to Axios.
