GAME OVER / Gavin Newsom Tries to Troll Trump with Redistricting Posts, Polling Shows Trouble [WATCH]

With Texas Democrats ending their walkout, Republican lawmakers in the state are moving forward with a redistricting plan expected to add five new GOP-held congressional seats.

The plan follows a broader national trend in which both parties have been accused of drawing favorable district maps, with Republican leaders in Texas pointing to Democratic-dominated states such as California as examples.

California currently has an “independent commission” responsible for drawing its congressional districts.

Under its current map, Democrats hold 43 of the state’s 52 House seats despite receiving about 60 percent of the statewide vote in recent elections.

By contrast, Texas Republicans won 58 percent of the vote in the last cycle but currently hold 25 of the state’s 38 seats.

Even after the new Texas map is finalized, Republican leaders note that the political advantage for Democrats in California remains greater than what Republicans will have in Texas.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has recently called for changes to his state’s district lines, framing it as a response to the Texas plan.
