Trump slams California redistricting vote, says votes under 'review'
Proposition 50 allows California Democrats to redraw congressional districts, potentially flipping five seats and countering Republican gerrymanders, according to analysts.
- On November 4, 2025, President Donald Trump said California's Prop 50 vote was a `giant scam` and under `very serious legal and criminal review` before polls closed.
- Proposition 50 gives California's Democratic-controlled legislature the power to draw new congressional maps, replacing the independent redistricting commission, a move analysts say could deliver five additional Democratic seats next year.
- Trump has long criticized mail voting, and Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, pushed to ban it while the administration sent `Election Monitors` as Trump declared Prop 50 rigged before polls closed.
- Republicans called the measure an unprecedented power grab, while Rep. Pete Aguilar said, `We must ensure we win each of these newly drawn seats in 2026`.
- The Prop 50 changes are temporary and will revert when new districts are later drawn, while seven Republican-led states have launched partisan map redraws and observers say this may boost Governor Gavin Newsom's national standing.
