CBC Statement on SCOTUS Ruling Upholding Trump-Republican Texas Maps

Today, Congressional Black Caucus Chair Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09) and members of the Congressional Black Caucus issued the following statement:

"The right-wing supermajority on the Supreme Court has dealt a blow to our democracy by shamefully rubber-stamping President Trump and Governor Abbott's coordinated political scheme to stack the deck ahead of the midterms with a racially gerrymandered map that disenfranchises Black and Brown voters in Texas.

"The CBC and House Democrats are united in fighting back against this blatant effort to tear down our democracy and strip away our right to fair representation under the law.

"The Supreme Court has once again proven that it serves Donald Trump - not the American people. Our communities know all too well that justice is never handed over freely. We will continue to fight in Congress, in the courts, and in our communities until this racist, anti-democratic scheme fails."
