Trump threatens to sue California over redistricting plan favoring Democrats\u00a9\u00a0Evan Vucci\/AP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

President Donald Trump said Monday that the Justice Department plans to sue California over legislation aimed at redrawing the state\u2019s congressional maps \u2014 an initiative by Democrats to counter Republican-driven efforts in Texas to remake its map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked by a reporter whether his administration might challenge California\u2019s newly passed bills, Trump, using a derogatory nickname for Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), said: \u201cWell think I\u2019m going to be filing a lawsuit pretty soon. And I think we\u2019re going to be very successful in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to be filing it through the Department of Justice. That\u2019s going to happen,\u201d Trump said after signing executive orders in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month, Trump urged Republicans in Texas to aggressively redraw maps to their advantage ahead of the 2026 midterms, arguing that Republicans are \u201centitled\u201d to five more seats in Congress. The Trump-backed map<\/a> passed last week, creating five more U.S. House districts in Texas that favor Republicans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California\u2019s legislation, signed by Newsom last week, requires voters to approve changes to the state\u2019s congressional map in a special election that the legislature set for November. California has more hurdles in its process than in Texas because the state constitution requires that an independent nonpartisan panel draw its congressional maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s pressure on lawmakers to create GOP-friendly congressional maps has launched a nationwide redistricting war<\/a>, with some Democrat- and Republican-led states eyeing new maps for a partisan edge ahead of the 2026 midterms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mid-decade redistricting<\/a> is also controversial with those who would be affected the most \u2014 voters and particularly minorities. States typically draw new district lines once a decade, after new census data is released, or if a map is struck down in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
