California voters approved Proposition 50 in November.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a bid by California Republicans to block a newly redrawn congressional map backed by Democrats and endorsed by voters ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
The move allows the state to move forward with a map enacted by Proposition 50, approved in November, that could potentially allow Democrats to flip five seats currently held by Republicans.

California’s mid-decade map change was backed by Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Democratic Party in response to efforts by Texas and other Republican-led states to redraw their maps — at President Donald Trump’s urging — in order to give Republicans a better chance at retaining majority control of Congress.
“Donald Trump said he was ‘entitled’ to five more Congressional seats in Texas. He started this redistricting war. He lost, and he’ll lose again in November,” Newsom posted on X on Wednesday after the Supreme Court’s order.
Too bad. It was obviously a open attempt to gerrymander using race and a very questionable basis based upon the Law of Texas.
Once again the reasons for leaving the State pile up again. When the State loses HR representation for lost population they will not be happy.
How about restricting the population count to US Citizens only?
You idiots voted for them…..
Not I!!!!!! This freak in CA is sooooo STUPID, IGNORANT, and ARROGANT!!! He really believes, like his auntie (the wicked witch of the west) that he is beyond the power of the law!!!! His behavior during the PLANdemic proves that – along with his “train to NOwhere”, his EV mandates, and the list goes on and on and on and – – – – – – –
Why should we pay taxes when we have SO many corrupt politicians – and NOW, even the Supreme Court ?????
GAD – now the US Supreme Court won’t enforce existing laws??? I am sooooo disappointed in you. We have a dicktator in CA – and you, the US SUPREME COURT, have just given him carte blanche to use and abuse his power!!!! HOW CAN YOU TURN A BLIND EYE???? He wants to disenfranchise MANY Californians, basically, the ones who work and pay taxes!!!! This is our and out Communism, Facism, and UNCONSTITUTIONAL – by the US Constitution AND the California Constitution.
Keep crying about this BS because it didn’t go your way, don’t worry as your days are numbered once the midterms are over. Then cry it was “rigged” and waste time and taxpayer money to find out it’s not (like 2020 remember). You magats wanted the USA run by felons and Pedos and voted accordingly. Now that the damage is done the smarter magats are jumping ship and will vote differently. Red is dead, blue is cool.
