California Gov. Gavin Newsom used his Democratic supermajority to push a new congressional map that favors Democrats in an effort to nullify the expected new map from Texas.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday signed a series of bills calling for new congressional maps that could add up to five Democratic seats in Congress, a response to an ongoing, Trump-led effort in Texas to use redistricting there to carve out five additional GOP seats.

California Republicans have petitioned the state Supreme Court to block Governor Newsom's redistricting plan, alleging Democrats are rushing legislation to add five Democratic congressional seats. The GOP argues this violates the state constitution's public review rule and undermines the independent redistricting commission.
