Newsom leads California’s redistribution against Trump’s Texas plan

The Democrats Democrats of the Californian legislative assembly dominated by Democrats are expected on Friday to unveil their new district cards of the proposed congress which would create up to five other American house seats in the most populous state in the country.

The revelation of the cards arrives after the Democratic Governor with two mandates Gavin Newsom has teamed up with Los Angeles with Congress Democrats and highly blue legislative leaders to unveil their redistribution game book.

Newsom and the Democrats aim to counter the ongoing efforts by President Donald Trump and the Republicans to create up to five Congress districts adapted to the GOP in the Red State of Texas to the detriment of the seats currently controlled by the Democrats.

“Today is Liberation Day in California,” said Newsom. “Donald Trump, you pushed the bear, and we’re going to hit.”

Newsom has promised to “meet fire with fire” with its push for a rare – but not unknown – rediscovery of the decade.

Newsom says Trump has missed a deadline to withdraw on his efforts to redirect in Texas.

“Donald ‘Taco’ Trump, as many call it,` `missed ‘the deadline !!! California, will now draw new’ most beautiful cards’, they will be historic because they will end the Trump presidency (the DEMS will take over the house!),” Wrote Newsom earlier this week in an article on social media published by his press office, who makes fun of his own. social.

The republican thrust in Texas, which comes at the request of Trump, is part of a wider effort of the GOP across the country to fill their majority at the thin house like the razor to keep control of the mid-term room in 2026, when the power party traditionally faces a political head and loses seats.

Trump and his political team aim to prevent what happened during his first mandate in the White House, when the Democrats returned to seize the majority of the room in the middle of 2018.

But while the republican push in Texas to upset the current cards of the Congress does not face the constitutional constraints, the Newsom path in California is much more complicated.

The governor pushes to organize a special election this year, to obtain the approval of the voters to cancel the constitutional amendments which created the non -partisan redistribution committee.

A two -thirds majority vote in the Californian legislature dominated by the Democrats next week would be necessary to hold the referendum. The leaders of the Democratic Party are convinced that they will have the votes to advance the constitutional amendment and the new cards proposed to the Congress through the Legislative Assembly.

“Here, we are open and simple before a vote is expressed during the mid-term elections of 2026, and here (Trump) tries once again to fuck the system,” said Newsom.

Newsom said his plan was “not complicated. We do this in reaction to a President of the United States who called a Governor in office in the State of Texas and said:” Find five seats “. We do it in reaction to this act.”

The National Committee of the Republican Congress (NRCC) accused that “the Newsom was clearly: they will shive the constitution of California and trample democracy – manage a cynical and selfish game book where Californians are a reflection after the fact, and power is the only priority.”

But Newsom defended his actions, saying: “We work through a very transparent, temporary and public process. We put the cards on the ballot and put power to the people.”

The appearance of Thursday by Newsom, which is considered to be a probable competitor for the 2028 democratic presidential appointment, also served as a collection of fundraising to increase the massive quantities of campaign money necessary to sell the redistribution thrust throughout the state in California.

Schwarzenegger’s new role of gaze: repel the news reader of Newsom

The non -partisan redistribution commission, created over 15 years ago, remains popular with most Californians, according to the survey of public opinion.

This is why Newsom and the Democratic legislators of California promise not to completely remove the commission, but rather temporarily replacing it by the Legislative Assembly for the next three electoral cycles.

“We are going to assert our commitment to the independent redistribution of the State after the 2030 census, but we ask voters their consent to rediscover mid-term,” said Newsom.

But their efforts are opposed to a number of coalitions of figures favorable to the non -partisan commission.

Among the most visible members is probably the former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the last elected representative republican in California dominated by the Democrats.

“I am preparing for the battle of the Gerrymandering,” wrote the former governor in an article on social networks on Friday.

Schwarzenegger, during his governor mandate, played a main role in the adoption of constitutional amendments in California in 2008 and 2010 which took power to draw the legislative districts and the Congress of the States of politicians and placed it in the hands of an independent commission.

“Most people do not really think of an independent commission, in one way or another. And it is both an opportunity and a challenge for Newsom,” Fox News Jack Pitney, American politics professor at California Claremont McKenna College, told Fox News.

But he added that “it will take a lot of effort and money to energize the Democrats and motivate them to present themselves to the polls” and that the effort of Newsom “is to motivate people who do not like Trump”.
