The United States Supreme Court denied the Republican Party's application challenging a California redistricting measure intended to increase Democratic congressional seats. The order consisted of a single sentence with no dissent and no explanation from the conservative-majority court. The decision follows an earlier December ruling allowing a Texas redistricting measure favoring Republicans to proceed. California officials framed the ruling as a check on a nationwide effort by Republican leaders, including Donald Trump, to redraw districts for partisan advantage. Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta criticized Trump's redistricting efforts and warned of a redistricting 'arms race' that could disenfranchise Democratic voters. The House currently has a narrow Republican majority.
