Headline: The Texas Tribune, 11/192025
Gabby Birembaum reports:
“Donald Trump and Greg Abbott played with fire, got burned — and democracy won,” Newsom wrote on X. “This ruling is a win for Texas, and for every American who fights for free and fair elections.”
While California’s Prop 50 initially included trigger language tying its new gerrymander to a redistricted map being adopted in Texas or another state, that clause was struck from the final version presented to voters, meaning the Texas ruling has no bearing on California’s map moving forward.
“Governor Newsom sent Governor Abbott a letter in [August], that was public, that told him, we don’t have to do this,” said Rep. Pete Aguilar, a Democrat from California’s Inland Empire and the chair of the House Democratic Caucus. “Neither of us has to, but Texas decided to.”
