Governor condemns Texas effort to redraw maps to pick up more seats and says Democrats should respond in kind
Seeking to offset a Republican plan to pick up congressional seats in Texas, California Democrats say they are prepared to redraw the state’s 52 congressional districts in a longshot and controversial effort to pick up Democratic seats.
Governor Gavin Newsom, seen as a likely presidential candidate in 2028, has been leading the threat in recent days. And Democratic members of California’s delegation in the US House appear to be on board.
“We want our gavels back,” Representative Mark Takano, a California Democrat, told Punchbowl News. “That’s what this is about.” Democrats hold 43 of California’s 52 seats and reportedly believe they can pick up an additional five to seven seats by drawing new maps.
Don’t be fooled into falling into this red vs blue gamified bullshit. It’s all a big club and you ain’t in it. Don’t play the same game that gets the maga fucks hating their neighbors.
To wit: if we can get more candidates like Mamdani, it’ll be a game-changer.
The maga fucks hate their neighbors because they’ve got cheese between their ears. They are legitimately insane.
So have you if you think that somehow means democract politicians are coming to save us.
