US EditionTrump says DOJ will sue California over redistricting as he celebrates Texas effort
The Department of Justice plans to sue California over its congressional redistricting, which aims to add five Democratic seats in response to Texas Republicans' map favoring GOP gains.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump announced the Department of Justice will sue California over Gov. Gavin Newsom's redistricting, saying in the Oval Office, `I think I'm going to be filing a lawsuit pretty soon, and I think we're going to be very successful in it`.
- Texas Republicans' mid-decade redraw spurred California Democratic-controlled legislature to approve new maps and set a November special election as a countermeasure.
- Texas state Senate sent the map to Gov. Greg Abbott Saturday, while California Governor Gavin Newsom signed two redistricting bills last week setting a November special election; lawsuits began challenging mid-decade changes in both states.
- The fight could affect control of the U.S. House as Republicans currently hold a 219-212 advantage, and legal disputes may reshape party strategy ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
- On Wednesday, Texas released a new congressional map for the 2026 midterms, while at least half a dozen states consider similar mid-decade redistricting moves.
