Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said he would consider multiple options in California to combat Texas’s redistricting efforts in a press conference with Texas state lawmakers Friday. Texas Republicans are working to redraw their state’s congressional lines,

Newsom told reporters the GOP's push to redraw congressional maps in Texas is a "five-alarm fire for democracy in the United States" and is doubling down on his threat to overhaul California's redistricting process.

Redistricting usually happens after the census count or in response to a court ruling. Texas' gerrymandering move and similar ones considered in other states may have far-reaching effects.

California lawmakers are grappling with Gov. Gavin Newsom's bold proposal to scrap the state's independent redistricting system in favor of a partisan power play.

California's governor wants to redraw congressional lines to offset a Texas gerrymander. Is that snubbing voters who took the power from politicians? Or necessarily fighting fire with fire?
