Schwarzenegger Slams CNN’s Tapper, Highlights “Extreme Gerrymandering” in Blue States
Arnold Schwarzenegger criticizes Proposition 50 for enabling partisan map redrawing, calling for independent commissions to prevent unfair gerrymandering ahead of the 2026 mid-terms.
- On November 4, 2025, California voters will decide on Proposition 50, which Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California, opposes because it would let politicians redraw maps to favour a party.
- Republican-Directed redistricting and party strategies have prompted states to redraw maps, with Texas proposing a map that could net Republicans five extra seats next year ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections.
- Speaking to CNN on Sunday from Venice Beach's Gold's Gym, Mr Schwarzenegger slammed both Democrats and Republicans for gerrymandering and urged a federal independent commission.
- If approved, Proposition 50 would allow politicians to bypass the California Citizens Redistricting Commission for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections, affecting House districts before the November 2026 midterm elections.
- Data from Princeton's Gerrymandering Project reveals varied fairness across states, showing Massachusetts' map as neutral while New Mexico leans Democratic despite a 45 per cent Trump vote.
