California Redistricting Developments and Political Reactions
TL;DR Summary
California voters approved a congressional map favoring Democrats, countering Trump's efforts to redraw districts for Republican gain ahead of the 2026 midterms. While Republicans have gained seats in several states through redistricting, Democrats have made some gains in California and other states. The process is influenced by legal challenges and the partisan control of state legislatures, with Democrats facing more restrictions and fewer opportunities to redistrict compared to Republicans.
