Democrats Weigh Countermoves as Texas GOP Pushes Mid-Decade Redistricting

Democratic lawmakers and governors in key blue states are weighing whether to redraw their own congressional maps as Texas Republicans advance a mid-decade redistricting effort backed by President Donald Trump.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has publicly said he’s considering a special session or legislative maneuver to redraw the state’s House districts, calling Texas’s move “a whole other level of weaponization” of the redistricting process.
