Newsom Calls Nov. 4 Special Election in California on Partisan Redistricting Plan to Counter Texas Move

Governor Newsom aims to counter Republican redistricting in Texas by seeking voter approval for new maps that could add five Democratic U.S. House seats, potentially costing Fresno County $4 million.

  • California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a special election on Nov. 4 to redraw congressional maps, aiming to help Democrats win five more U.S. House seats in 2026.
  • Newsom stated, 'Donald Trump, you have poked the bear and we will punch back,' regarding Republican efforts in Texas.
  • Critics, including National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Christian Martinez, accused Newsom of acting for his 2028 presidential ambitions rather than for California voters.
  • SEIU California President David Huerta expressed confidence in voters, stating, 'California voters must be given the chance to save our democracy,' advocating against the redistricting plan.
