Texas Democratic Representative Ana-María Rodríguez Ramos joins Emily to discuss the decision by her and her colleagues to leave the state, breaking the legislative quorum to prevent a vote on new Republican-drawn redistricting maps. Rep. Ramos explains the strategy behind the move, why she considers it a necessary "sacrifice," and her view that the proposed maps are designed to dilute the votes of minority communities.
