Obama Applauds Newsom's California Redistricting Plan as 'Responsible' as Texas GOP Pushes New Maps
Former President Barack Obama has expressed support for California Governor Gavin Newsom's approach to redistricting
As Texas hurtles toward a flashpoint on a GOP effort to redraw congressional districts, California Democrats are answering with a plan of their own.
California Gov. Newsom moves forward with putting proposed congressional maps on the ballot in Nov. 4 special election in attempt to counter GOP redistricting in Texas.
California Democrats' ability to do so may hinge on the outcome of a ballot measure Newsom announced last week that would allow a new map drafted by legislators to temporarily replace the boundaries drawn up by the state's independent redistricting committee following the 2020 census.
