California Democrats Unveil Redistricting Proposal Amid Tensions with Trump
California Democrats, led by Governor Gavin Newsom, have unveiled a new congressional redistricting map aimed at countering Republican efforts from Texas. The plan, described as a response to perceived gerrymandering by Texas Republicans, seeks to reshape California’s congressional delegation by potentially putting five GOP-held seats in jeopardy. Newsom has been vocal in his criticism of Donald Trump, mocking him on social media and emphasizing the importance of the redistricting effort. As tensions escalate, Newsom has pledged to retaliate against any Republican attempts to influence congressional maps, raising the stakes in an ongoing political battle that has captured national attention.
