US EditionBreaking Down Prop 50 Results
Proposition 50 passed with 65.6% voter approval, redrawing California's congressional map to help Democrats gain five seats in the 2026 midterm elections.
- On Tuesday, California voters approved Proposition 50, passing the statewide redistricting measure that lets the state redraw its congressional map to gain five Democratic seats, with over 64% backing it by 10:30 p.m.
- Supporters said the map was crafted as a direct response to Donald Trump’s perceived power grab, with Gov. Gavin Newsom and liberal advocacy groups urging other Democratic-held states to follow.
- The new map places Rep. Ken Calvert and Rep. Young Kim in a revised 40th District, with Huntington Beach moving into Rep. Robert Garcia’s district, causing district shifts.
- Several incumbents say they will fight on, as the Republican delegation in California could shrink from nine seats to as few as four, with Rep. Ami Bera shifting districts and Dr. Richard Pan challenging Rep. Kevin Kiley.
- A costly, high-turnout campaign saw supporters spend more than $120 million while about 7 million Californians voted before Election Day, and Orange County backed the measure by about 56% to over 44%.
