Democratic leaders in the California Legislature on Friday threw their support behind Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to bring a potential redraw of the state’s congressional districts to voters in November.
Newsom has urged lawmakers to join a national fight over congressional district lines that could help determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The governor’s call for maps favoring Democrats appears to have won over legislators after some expressed early concerns about an accelerated push to set aside California’s current nonpartisan district boundaries.
At a press conference in Sacramento, California Democratic leaders appeared alongside legislators from Texas, who fled their home state to delay a Republican-led redistricting effort aimed at boosting the GOP.
While I strongly agree this needs to happen, I’d also put 50/50 odds at Trump ending congress before he complies with a democratic speaker. He’ll declare it an insurrection, and institute martial law first.
Did you see the leaked memo about using the military against Americans? He’s goimg to take over regardless
Of course, although I’m given hope by the fact that they can’t fill ICE recruitment. They’re going to have bigger problems with the military, much worse than they already saw in California.
