Illinois Senator Dick Durbin joined Texas Democrats to warn that the redistricting fight in the Lone Star State is the first sign of a threat to the whole country.

As of Monday morning, some Texas Democrats were still in Illinois and were joined by Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin and other legislative leaders to discuss harm they say the state's plan for a mid-decade redistricting could have on the country.

Durbin was originally supposed to speak alongside the lawmakers last week, before a bomb threat was reported at the hotel some of the Texas representatives were staying at.
