Long-term Austin Democratic congressman Lloyd Doggett said today he won't seek reelection if new Texas congressional maps are not overturned by courts.

Thank you sir
Always capitulate to the enemy. Always.
Good for him!! Selfless to hand the reins to the younger and more progressive candidate. This is how it’s done. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is how to do it Chuck Schumer.
The right thing to do. Integrity lives.
Good. Retire. Make room for younger Democrats.
I always liked Rep Doggett. What a honorable & classy move.
Bye Bye
For those complaining that he should stay and fight or that he's giving up... Read the article. If redistricting happens, the GOP combines two Dem districts so that two Dems be in a tough primary. By Doggett dropping out, he would be showing unity and support for the other Dem.
This ⬆️ Blame the damn Texas MAGA assholes for pitting them against each other with this gerrymandering bullshit.
So he is waving a big white flag! Not going to fight it. What a weenie
No. He’s saying if the map stands and his district is combined with another democrat’s that he would stand down so the younger progressive candidate wouldn’t have a primary. He’s being strategically supportive in a super sh*t situation.
Not good! He needs to stand and fight!
He’s would allow a younger, progressive Dem candidate to take over. No ugly primary
Ok, I didn’t catch that subtext at first. If that’s so, protect this man at all costs.
Isn’t that exactly what the GOP wants?

I am not sure I understand.
