House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Wednesday that Democrats are “very likely” to file a lawsuit after Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) failed to call a special election for a vacant House seat.
Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner died on March 5 at age 70 after just two months in office. Abbott has yet to announce a special election date and missed the deadline for the 18th Congressional District race to be held on May 3, the next election in Texas.
