Gov. Newsom says California will redraw its districts to counteract Texas
Governor Newsom threatens to override California's independent redistricting commission to counteract Texas Republicans' plan that could add five GOP seats, aiming to protect Democratic House control.
- On Aug. 13, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said his state will redraw its districts after President Donald Trump missed his response deadline.
- Prompted by GOP mid-decade tactics, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, at Trump's request, called a special session to redraw U.S. House seats to gain five more.
- In mocking Trump's style, Newsom declared in all caps: `Donald 'TACO' Trump, as many call him, 'missed' the deadline!!!` and vowed to redraw more 'beautiful maps' to end the Trump presidency.
- Later this year, Newsom plans a November special election to bypass California's independent commission and approve new congressional maps.
- Looking ahead, Newsom warned that the partisan battle risks a national redistricting 'arms race' as Trump faces the prospect of losing control of the House next year with a 219-212 majority.
