Over the summer, at Trump's direction, Texas Republicans had redrawn their maps to create up to five new Republican-leaning seats.

But two federal judges, including one appointed by Trump, found that the new maps were unconstitutional.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said he plans to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.

Today, the story of how a small group of Senate Democrats broke from their colleagues, struck a deal with Republicans to end the government shutdown, and touched off the latest civil war inside their party.

I spoke with my colleagues, congressional reporter Katie Edmondson and national political correspondent Shane Goldmacher.

It's Tuesday, November 11th.

Katie, welcome back.

Thank you, Michael.

I just want to explain that we're talking to you on Monday afternoon after a head-spinning few days of news that could keep changing after we talk to you.

And the reason the past few days have been head-spinning is that from the outside, it looked like Democrats were riding really high.
