Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin said on Sunday that Democrats are “absolutely” well positioned to fight back against Republicans redistricting efforts.

Martin was asked in an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday,” whether Democrats are “really in a position to fight back on this,” considering states like California would likely need to change the law would likely need to change for Democrats to undertake the same effort.

“Absolutely we are, whether it’s in the courts, whether it’s organizing on the ground, which we’ve been doing,” Martin said in the interview.

Martin said he views the redistricting effort as unconstitutional but said Democrats are ready to play the Republicans’s game.

“The reality is what we’ve seen already is a craven power grab, an unconstitutional power grab, in my mind,” Martin said. “Look, the Constitution says very clearly that we have a decennial census. We draw the lines after that. The state legislatures are allowed to do that, but it does not give them the power to essentially redraw the lines whenever the hell they want to do it. And what Texas is doing right now is a craven power grab.”

At the same time, he added, “We’re going to fight fire with fire.”

“If Texas wants a showdown, which they clearly do, we’re going to give them the showdown,” Martin said.

Martin said he’s talked to Democrats around the country about potentially undertaking similar redistricting efforts.

“And I’ve talked with a number of Democratic governors around the country, and as you can tell, they’re already preparing to follow suit here.”
