Gov. Newsom Rallies Supporters in LA for Prop 50 Ahead of Election Day

Proposition 50 aims to redraw California’s 52 congressional districts to counteract Texas Republicans and could add up to five Democratic House seats, protecting against election manipulation.

  • On Nov. 4, California voters will decide whether Proposition 50, backed by Governor Gavin Newsom and supporters, should redraw many of the state's 52 congressional districts with potential for five Democratic gains.
  • Supporters say the measure was triggered after President Donald Trump encouraged Texas Republicans to redraw maps for a five-seat advantage, while California's constitution requires an independent redistricting commission and voter approval, unlike Texas, and the state legislature passed the map earlier this year.
  • In Northern and Central California the proposal would change districts held by Doug LaMalfa, Kevin Kiley, put Darrell Issa and Ken Calvert at risk, and make David Valadao's reelection harder, while flipping three Republican seats safe Democratic and two lean Democratic.
  • Top Democrats rallied volunteers at a Nov. 1 rally hosted by Governor Gavin Newsom at the Los Angeles Convention Center, with Vice President Kamala Harris, Senator Adam Schiff and Senator Alex Padilla urging a final 72-hour push.
  • Critics including former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger argue Prop 50 is a 'tit-for-tat' tactic, while backers say a Democratic House majority would block Trump and the MAGA agenda as other GOP-led states explore redistricting.
