California Gov. Gavin Newsom has urged Illinois and New York to continue redistricting efforts as GOP lawmakers push to gain five additional House seats in Texas. Newsom urged them to fight fire with fire and criticized Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for advocating for the arrest of Democratic lawmakers who fled the state to block a vote advancing redistricting efforts. Lawmakers in New York and Illinois have launched redistricting efforts in response to Texas, with New York introducing legislation to amend the state’s constitution permitting redistricting efforts outside of the traditional cycle. Lawmakers in Illinois are working on a similar measure. Newsom also mentioned that California’s elected officials would be swiftly combating Republican efforts with countermeasures. He has been listed as a potential contender for the White House in 2028 as Democrats prepare to launch a comeback bid after losing the presidential race and the Senate majority last year.
