- Countering GOP efforts, California Democrats proposed their own plan after President Donald Trump urged Texas Republicans to redraw maps.

- Supporters say if California completes the plan by Aug. 22, the new map activates for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections, contingent on Republican redistricting first.
