Newsom Issues Warning as Trump Administration Sues California

California’s Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a warning to the Trump Administration after the Justice Department joined a Republican-led lawsuit on Thursday in an attempt to block the Golden State’s redrawing of congressional district lines. The Trump Administration is arguing that the new districts, which were approved by voters on Nov. 4, violate the Constitution.

In response to the legal action, Newsom’s press office said “these losers lost at the ballot box” and “soon they will also lose in court.”

On last week’s Election Day, California voters approved the Proposition 50 legislation to redraw California’s congressional districts, giving Democrats a stronger chance of taking five House seats from Republicans during next year's midterm elections. The action was spearheaded by Newsom and other prominent California Democrats in response to similar recent redistricting efforts in Texas, which served to reshape several congressional districts to favor Republicans.

The battle of redistricting across the country has seen criticism from both Democrats and Republicans, with California Republicans suing in their state immediately after Prop. 50 was approved.

Texans were not allowed to vote on this gerrymandering issue, only republicans pedophiles got to make that decision, led by Gov. Abbott.

Gov. Newsom allowed the voters to make that determination. As a Texan I applaud California and the citizens for protecting our democracy from the usurpers.
