California Governor Gavin Newsom plans to implement mid-cycle redistricting in response to Texas Republicans' efforts to redraw congressional maps favorably for Republicans. Newsom emphasized that California will take action if Texas proceeds and asserted that such a move can significantly impact national outcomes. He stated that the state will fight back against attempts to undermine democracy and expressed confidence that California voters will support the initiative, which aims to assert a stronger Democratic presence amid national elections influenced by the redistricting battle.
We're working with the legislature on a trigger that if they (Texas) do move forward, California will not sit by idly and watch this democracy waste away, Newsom said.
Again, it will have profound national implications if we move forward, and I'm confident if we move forward, the people of this great state will support this effort.
