Gov. Gavin Newsom and Texas Democrats jointly promoted California’s plan to redraw congressional lines and offset a redistricting scheme in Texas.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a committed thorn in Donald Trump’s side, told the president Monday that he’s prepared to redraw California’s districts in Democrats’ favor if he doesn’t call on Texas and other red states to halt their own GOP-friendly redistricting plans.

Gov. Gavin Newsom asked President Donald Trump to order Texas and other red states to abandon their efforts to redraw congressional boundaries, calling it an attempt to “rig” the 2026 midterms and an “affront to American democracy.”
