“Meet fire with fire…” California Governor Gavin Newsom over Texas redistricting fight with Trump
California’s governor said on Thursday (August 14) he will ask voters to approve a ballot measure in November redrawing the state’s congressional map in a way likely to create five more Democratic seats, escalating a redistricting war with the Republican-led state of Texas and President Donald Trump.
Texas Republicans have drawn a new congressional map aimed at flipping five Democratic seats in the November 2026 midterm election, with the battle for control of the U.S. House of Representatives expected to be closely fought.
“We have got to meet fire with fire,” Governor Gavin Newsom told a rally in Los Angeles, offering a temporary strategy to neutralize Republican moves they see aimed at gaming the system.
“We’re putting the maps on the ballot and we’re giving the power to the people,” he said. “This will be the first redistricting that’s ever done that. We’re asking the voters for their consent to do midterm redistricting in 2026, 2028, and 2030 to respond to what’s happening in Texas.”
More than 50 Democratic Texas lawmakers collectively left their home state to prevent the legislative quorum required for Republicans there to win adoption of a Texas redistricting plan championed by Trump.
