Democratic lawmakers from Texas say they’re considering their options amid reports they could return to the state as soon as this weekend, a move that could end a standoff in which more than 50 state representatives left in a bid to block controversial new congressional maps backed by President Donald Trump.

Texas Democratic lawmakers expected to confront many uncertainties when they left the state in a last-ditch attempt to block Republicans from pushing through a new congressional map.
