US EditionHere’s how Newsom’s maps are already changing California’s congressional races
Governor Newsom's new congressional map favors Democrats, prompting several candidates to switch districts and potentially reshape California's political landscape before the November vote.
- Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed redrawing California's congressional map, leading candidates to reconsider which districts to contest ahead of November's vote.
- Newsom’s proposal aims to replace the current maps drawn four years ago by an independent commission with partisan maps favoring Democrats, as a response to Trump’s demand for redistricting in Republican states.
- Democratic hopefuls like Marni von Wilpert and others have announced plans to challenge incumbents such as Darrell Issa and Ken Calvert if voters approve the new maps, while some Republicans also consider district switches.
- Democratic strategist Katie Merrill said, “Chaos breeds opportunity in politics, and that’s what we’re experiencing right now,” noting the chance for five new Democratic seats and steeper battles for Republicans.
- If the new maps pass, Democrats could solidify vulnerable districts and expand their House majority, but campaigns face costly fights as Republicans try to retain seats amid disrupted voter compositions.
