California Governor Gavin Newsom is advancing a Democratic-led initiative to redraw the state's congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The proposed redistricting plan aims to counteract Republican gains from Texas, potentially creating five new Democratic U.S. House seats in California. Newsom has secured support from local Democratic leaders and is seeking financial backing from wealthy donors to promote the measure to voters. The plan faces strong opposition from California Republicans, who have filed a lawsuit with the state Supreme Court seeking to block the redistricting effort, citing violations of procedural rules including insufficient review time. The Republicans argue the plan is a partisan power grab that would eliminate five GOP-held House seats and undermine voter rights. California state legislators have begun hearings on the proposal, but the Democrats face a tight legislative deadline to get the maps on the ballot for a November special election. The redistricting battle is part of a broader national contest over congressional representation, with Republicans in Texas pursuing their own map to increase GOP seats. Polling indicates that 57% of California voters support the redistricting measure, while 35% oppose it. Critics have also raised concerns about the lack of transparency regarding who exactly drew the new maps, with Democratic leaders refusing to disclose the authorship despite claiming the process is transparent. The effort is expected to cost tens of millions of dollars and has sparked a heated political and legal confrontation as both parties seek to shape the next Congress.
