Newsom announces California redistricting push, setting up a standoff with GOP-led opponents
Gavin Newsom formally kicked off his push Thursday to redraw California’s congressional maps in response to a Republican-led effort in Texas, setting up the next stage of his fight against both the Trump administration and a coalition of gerrymandering opponents within the state.
California Democrats released a new gerrymandered House map on Friday night that, if implemented, would steal GOP seats held for decades.
