The new map would shift five of California's Republican House seats to be more favorable to Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a package of legislation, kicking off the Golden State's redistricting drive, as the Democrat retaliates against Texas.

The high-stakes fight over political boundaries could shape control of the U.S. House – and determine Gov. Gavin Newsom’s political future.

California Democrats scored a victory after passing a plan that could net them five more House seats in the midterm elections.

Voters in Republican Congressman Kevin Kiley’s district react to the governor’s proposal to counter GOP gerrymandering in Texas.

Texas lawmakers meet again Friday, when the Republican majority in the Senate could give final approval to their map.

The Orange County lawmaker, who also condoned Texas’s gerrymandering effort, urged lawmakers to support legislation introduced by Rep. Kevin Kiley, of Northern California, to ban mid-decade redistricting in every state, saying that would be more constructive than California Democrats’ current efforts.

California’s Democratic-controlled legislature passed a trio of bills aimed at redrawing the state’s congressional map. The move, designed to send five more Democrats to Congress, is a direct response to Texas doing the same thing with Republican seats.
