T exas House Democrats who left the state to prevent a vote on new congressional maps will return to Texas, feeling they have accomplished their mission of killing the first special session, raising awareness and sparking national backlash about the mid-decade redistricting, multiple sources confirmed to ABC station KTRK and ABC News on Tuesday.

The Texas GOP plans to call another special legislative session to discuss redistricting measures favoring Republicans on Friday, forcing Democrats to decide whether to continue to fight the policy from afar or resolve differences in the state.

The announcement marks the latest sign that Trump's push to reconfigure districts ahead of the midterm is set to be a prolonged fight.
