California Governor Gavin Newsom is advocating for a special election aimed at approving a one-time redrawing of the state’s congressional districts. During an event in Sacramento, he expressed solidarity with Texas Democrats who are currently opposing a Republican-led redistricting plan by leaving the state to deny a quorum for a vote. Newsom announced plans for the special election to take place in the first week of November, emphasizing the need to support these Texas lawmakers in their efforts. If approved by voters, the redistricting in California is intended to create additional Democratic seats in Congress, marking this initiative as a singular effort rather than a recurring process.
