WATCH: Texas Democrats evacuated after bomb threat in Chicago amid redistricting standoff

By Staff Reports

August 7, 2025

Texas Democrats staying in Chicago were evacuated from their hotel after a bomb threat Wednesday morning. Law enforcement conducted a search but found no device.

The threat came just days after Texas Republican leaders said they wanted to “hunt down” Democrats who left the state to block a vote on newly proposed congressional maps. Those maps, drawn at the request of President Donald Trump, could help Republicans win 5 Democratic-held seats in the US House.
