Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom demanded that President Donald Trump call off the GOP-led effort to redraw Texas’ and other red states’ House maps — threatening to move forward with his push to make his state’s own map even more lopsided in favor of Democrats.

Gov. Gavin Newsom and California legislative and congressional members stood with Texas state lawmakers in their opposition to President Trump's plan to redraw voting maps to hold on to power in the midterm election.

Texas has been the epicenter of Trump’s push to gerrymander congressional maps to shore up Republicans’ narrow House majority before next year.
