California Democrats on Friday rolled out their new Congressional map that eliminates 5 GOP House seats in response to the redistricting fight between Texas legislators.
California voters will decide in a special election this November on the new Congressional map.
Because of ballot harvesting, drop boxes, mail-in ballots without chain of custody and questionable ballot curing, the 2024 election gave California 43 Democrat House seats and 9 Republican seats.
Now the Democrats are trying to eliminate 5 more GOP House seats.
“The five California Republicans targeted by the redistricting plan include Representatives Doug LaMalfa in District 1, Kevin Kiley in District 3, David Valadao in District 22, Ken Calvert in District 41, and Darrell Issa in District 48,” KCRA reported.
The new map was leaked to KCRA, Politico and the Washington Post.
Politico reported:
California — California Democrats on Friday finalized their plan to snatch five GOP House seats next year by redrawing the state’s congressional lines, according to a copy of the new House map submitted to the Legislature on behalf of the DCCC.
The new lines, which voters would need to approve in a Nov. 4 special election, adds registered Democratic voters to districts held by Republicans and frontline Democrats, while making some safe blue districts slightly more competitive. State legislators are expected next week to place the new district lines on the statewide ballot, sparking a furious campaign to override the work of the state’s independent redistricting commission for the next several election cycles.
California’s bold and risky play, led by Gov. Gavin Newsom and senior members of the state’s congressional delegation, is designed to cancel out Republicans’ bid to flip five Democratic-held House seats in Texas — a tactic urged by President Donald Trump to retain the House majority.

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) held a press conference in Downtown Los Angeles on Thursday to announce Democrats’ ‘redistricting effort’ and it turned into a profanity-laced clown show.
Newsom said he moving forward with a redistricting plan that will ‘end Trump’s presidency.’
“Why else would [Trump] try to rig the system? Why else would he make the phone call? He’s a failed President,” Newsom said.
