US EditionGov. Newsom Calls on Trump to Tell Republican States to Call Off Redistricting Efforts
- Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom warned President Trump on August 11, 2025, that California will redraw its congressional maps if Republican-led states continue partisan redistricting efforts.
- This warning follows Texas Republicans' push to redraw maps aiming to gain five House seats, prompting Democratic lawmakers to flee the state to deny quorum for the vote.
- Newsom and other Democrats accuse Republicans of rigging districts to suppress voting rights, with Illinois Governor Pritzker calling the new Texas map a violation of those rights.
- Newsom warned Trump that his actions threaten to undermine democratic stability, emphasizing that California has the ability to counteract any advantages those efforts might achieve, and urged him to cease these attempts.
- If red states call off their redistricting, Newsom said California will too, but otherwise he plans a ballot initiative to replace the independent commission with a partisan map favoring Democrats.
