California Gov. Gavin Newsom used his Democratic supermajority to push a new congressional map that favors Democrats in an effort to nullify the expected new map from Texas.

As Texas Republicans and California Democrats redraw U.S. House districts to their advantage ahead of next year's elections, they're potentially disrupting a rare partisan balance in American politics.

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 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.

The effort is aimed at redrawing the state’s congressional districts after Texas’ GOP-led House advanced its controversial new electoral map a day earlier.

Californians are now set to return to the polls this year, after Democrats in the Legislature set a special election on new Congressional maps.

A campaign mailer in California urging a "no" vote on redistricting draws criticism for implying League of Women Voters' endorsement, which the group denies.
