BOLDUAN I want to ░░░░░░░░ I m not sure ░░░░░░░░ you had a chance ░░░░░░░░ see it yet Earlier ░░░░░░░░ morning the president President ░░░░░░░░ just posted this morning ░░░░░░░░ Truth Social I ve ░░░░░░░░ our Department of Commerce ░░░░░░░░ immediately begin work on ░░░░░░░░ new and highly accurate ░░░░░░░░ Basically saying he wants ░░░░░░░░ new census Obviously not ░░░░░░░░ at the 10 year ░░░░░░░░ since one just happened ░░░░░░░░ with that while it ░░░░░░░░ have an impact on ░░░░░░░░ sorts of aspects of ░░░░░░░░ lives one as one ░░░░░░░░ thing that this speaks ░░░░░░░░ to is has everything ░░░░░░░░ do with redistricting I ░░░░░░░░ what do you think ░░░░░░░░ that seeing this from ░░░░░░░░ president now PIERCE Well ░░░░░░░░ was amazed at how ░░░░░░░░ the president was and ░░░░░░░░ saying I need more ░░░░░░░░ because I think I ░░░░░░░░ going to lose the ░░░░░░░░ elections And I was ░░░░░░░░ shocked that they didn ░░░░░░░░ come up with some ░░░░░░░░ story or some excuse ░░░░░░░░ redraw these districts So ░░░░░░░░ think he must be ░░░░░░░░ enough pushback that he ░░░░░░░░ decided we have to ░░░░░░░░ an excuse to draw ░░░░░░░░ maps And having a ░░░░░░░░ census would be that ░░░░░░░░ BOLDUAN Dozens of Democratic ░░░░░░░░ in Texas as they ░░░░░░░░ facing this in very ░░░░░░░░ time they left the ░░░░░░░░ in order to not ░░░░░░░░ you know take away ░░░░░░░░ so they held up ░░░░░░░░ vote on the redrawn ░░░░░░░░ there Is are there ░░░░░░░░ of this already amongst ░░░░░░░░ in Indiana I mean ░░░░░░░░ that something you could ░░░░░░░░ or would do PIERCE ░░░░░░░░ unfortunately we the Republicans ░░░░░░░░ a supermajority in this ░░░░░░░░ so they can establish ░░░░░░░░ quorum with their own ░░░░░░░░ members So we don ░░░░░░░░ have that option But ░░░░░░░░ can rest assured that ░░░░░░░░ they decide to go ░░░░░░░░ with this we ll ░░░░░░░░ every procedural maneuver available ░░░░░░░░ us to try to ░░░░░░░░ it down and try ░░░░░░░░ defeat it and try ░░░░░░░░ give the public an ░░░░░░░░ to weigh in BOLDUAN ░░░░░░░░ do you think this ░░░░░░░░ do you how real ░░░░░░░░ you think this is ░░░░░░░░ mean what the vice ░░░░░░░░ coming to the state ░░░░░░░░ a significant move How ░░░░░░░░ do you think this ░░░░░░░░ push is PIERCE Well ░░░░░░░░ think the fact that ░░░░░░░░ s underway in Texas ░░░░░░░░ it s real And ░░░░░░░░ fact that they re ░░░░░░░░ to many different states ░░░░░░░░ think they decided that ░░░░░░░░ s a little harder ░░░░░░░░ Texas with a quorum ░░░░░░░░ denied So we need ░░░░░░░░ go to the supermajority ░░░░░░░░ states where there s ░░░░░░░░ accountability and we can ░░░░░░░░ have our will and ░░░░░░░░ through these changes and ░░░░░░░░ a few more seats ░░░░░░░░ know the margins are ░░░░░░░░ tight in the U ░░░░░░░░ House that you know ░░░░░░░░ they could pick up ░░░░░░░░ seat here or a ░░░░░░░░ there that can make ░░░░░░░░ real difference But doing ░░░░░░░░ will delegitimize Congress If ░░░░░░░░ only way the Republicans ░░░░░░░░ maintain their majority in ░░░░░░░░ U S House is ░░░░░░░░ basically cheat and come ░░░░░░░░ states around the country ░░░░░░░░ in the middle of ░░░░░░░░ cycle rig the election ░░░░░░░░ changing the maps there ░░░░░░░░ not going to be ░░░░░░░░ legitimacy to what Congress ░░░░░░░░ And that really undermines ░░░░░░░░ and that will destroy ░░░░░░░░
