Newsom says Democrats’ Tuesday wins, including Prop 50, represent ‘a new moment’ for party
California's Prop 50 adds five U.S. House seats favoring Democrats after GOP redistricting efforts in multiple states, signaling a national struggle over congressional maps, Newsom said.
- On Tuesday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Democrats' sweeping victory and Proposition 50's approval, creating five favorable House seats, signal a new moment for the Democratic Party.
- Earlier this year, Texas Republicans redrew congressional maps to shift five U.S. House seats right at President Donald Trump's behest, sparking outrage from state legislative Democrats who left Texas to avoid the vote.
- Newsom traveled to Houston on Saturday for a rally and credited Texas Democrats with energizing the push for Proposition 50, positioning himself as the face of California's redistricting efforts.
- Meanwhile, following California's lead, Democrats are seeking changes to maps in at least three other states: New York, Virginia and Illinois, while Newsom warned Republicans are consolidating power through redistricting.
- Amid the results, Gavin Newsom reiterated warnings about the threat President Donald Trump poses to democracy and said he would attend the COP30 climate summit in Brazil this week, 'standing in for my kids and grandkids, for common sense, for, you know, our economic future.
