Politico has obtained a leaked internal chart that outlines how California Democrats expect to fare under a new set of congressional district maps. The document, circulated among party strategists, categorises each of the state’s 52 House seats by the likelihood of a Democratic or Republican win, effectively identifying which incumbents would be strengthened and which would be placed at greater electoral risk. Among the details cited in the leak, California’s 48th District—currently held by Republican Darrell Issa—is labelled as “leans Democratic,” an assessment that has prompted questions from analysts about why party map-drawers did not consolidate more Democratic voters in neighbouring San Diego County districts instead. No further specifics about other districts or individual lawmakers were disclosed in the materials seen by Politico.
