California Gov. Gavin Newsom mentioned on Friday that the state will transfer ahead with a poll measure in November to redraw its congressional map in response to a Republican-backed redistricting plan in Texas.
Talking alongside state Democratic leaders, Newsom mentioned they might name for a particular election within the first week of November to vote on redrawing the congressional map, a transfer that would doubtlessly add 5 extra U.S. Home seats to the Democratic tally.
