Gavin Newsom on Thursday officially launched his California redistricting campaign at an event in Los Angeles. We will affirm our commitment to the state's independent redistricting after the 2030 census," Newsom said. Newsom recently sent a letter to Trump saying California would halt its redistricting effort if Texas agreed to do the same, but Trump did not respond to the request. Corrin Rankin, chair of the California Republican Party, issued a statement this week saying the party would go to court to fight Newsom's plans to redistrict the state. "The California Republican Party will fight it in the courts, at the ballot box and in every community," Rankin said.
