The Democratic governor, during an Aug. 4 press conference, vowed to push forward with mid-cycle redistricting should Texas Republicans continue with their plan to redraw congressional district lines to help President Donald Trump ‘s quest to add more Republicans to the House.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Monday that the state would not back down from its redistricting fight and pledged to “fight fire with fire” if Texas tried to redraw its congressional district maps.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday he plans to put new district lines in front of voters in a special election on Nov. 4, but only if Texas moves forward with its redistricting plans.
