California Democrats passed a trio of redistricting bills Thursday, a day after Republicans in the Texas House passed new maps of their own. Taken together, the package of bills backed by Democratic Gov.

After Texas moved forward on a new Trump-backed congressional map this week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom responded, "It's on," moving forward on his own redistricting plan that favors Democrats.

California’s Supreme Court has struck down the state GOP’s attempt to delay Governor Gavin Newsom’s redistricting plan, clearing the runway for the measure to reach the November referendum vote. The GOP lawmakers who filed the challenge argued that Newsom had moved forward too quickly, and violated the state’s independent redistricting commission.
