On August 18, 2025, state legislatures in California and Texas introduced new congressional district maps amid accusations of gerrymandering favoring Democratic leaders. California lawmakers, including Senate Democratic leader Mike McGuire, are reportedly negotiating to redraw districts to secure favorable seats for themselves. This move comes as California legislators seek to overturn the state's independent redistricting process. Meanwhile, Texas lawmakers are considering a new congressional map at the request of former President Donald Trump, prompting nationwide protests, including hundreds in Arizona. Critics argue that allowing politicians to draw their own district lines leads to corruption and undermines fair representation.
The California corruption is ASTOUNDING. You have Democrat legislative leaders trading their votes on these new gerrymandered maps for favorable districts to run in. @RepLaMalfa and @ilike_mike doing some brazen corruption that Californians can't be happy about. https://t.co/40RN2Ic1al
Sorry @audreydenney your corrupt Dem Party has already drawn that seat for its favored politician @ilike_mike Sad and shameful. That’s why we shouldn’t let politicians draw their own lines. It’s not right in Texas and it’s not right here. @sacbee_news @ZavalaA https://t.co/TEGc1RGfiV
As Texas lawmakers continue to look at drawing a new Congressional map at the request of President Trump, thousands of protestors nationwide, including hundreds here in Arizona, made their voices heard about the possible map redraw. https://t.co/S12UjSzlT6
