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.

As Texas Republicans move ahead with redistricting to protect or even expand the GOP’s slim majority in the US House, Democratic-run states, led by California, are pushing forward with their own efforts to draw new maps and add Democratic seats.

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.
