Breaking News: California Redistricting Plan Hits Major Roadblock Amid Trump Countermove
California voters have approved a new map for congressional districts, potentially helping Democrats win five more seats in the U.S. House. The move comes as a counter to President Trump's efforts to reshape voting maps in favor of Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
The approved map could give Democrats a significant advantage in the state, which has 52 congressional seats. This shift could impact the balance of power in the U.S. House, where Republicans currently hold a narrow majority.
President Trump has been actively involved in the redistricting process, urging Republican leaders to draw new lines in key states. So far, the GOP has gained an edge in five seats in Texas, one in Missouri, one in North Carolina, and a potential net gain of one to two in Ohio.
The California redistricting plan is now facing a major roadblock, as Trump's team is reportedly considering a countermove. Details of the potential countermove are still unclear, but it could further complicate the redistricting process.
This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
