California Gov. Gavin Newsom asked President Donald Trump in a letter on Aug. 11 to help stop mid-decade congressional redistricting efforts in Texas and other Republican-led states. He said California would consider redrawing its own map if those efforts continue.
“I am writing to ask you to call on the governor of Texas and other red states, who are acting on your request to draw new congressional maps through an unprecedented, mid-decade hyper-partisan gerrymander to rig the upcoming midterm elections, to stop those efforts,” Newsom wrote on Aug. 11.
