Obama supports Newsom redistricting to counter Texas gerrymandering

Former President Barack Obama said on Wednesday that he pushes for a redistributed plan to add more democratic seats to the Blue State of California village Gavin Newsom.

Obama said in a funderizer at Martha’s Wineyard at Massachusetts on Tuesday, “I am confident that the view of the village is a responsible approach. He said that it is going to be responsible. We are not going to try to maximize it completely.”

He said, “We are only going to do so and when Texas and/or other Republican states start pulling these exercises. Otherwise, this does not apply,” he said.

Obama praised Democrats, who voted for Texas’s redistribution as an ‘inspirational’

In a post on Wednesday on X, Obama said that Gerimandering should not be a part of politics. Instead, it should be a “fair fight” between Republican and Democrats based on competition of ideas.

Changes in house seats in Texas and California can transfer Congress control in 2026. Some analysts say that Democrats may raise five additional seats in California. If Newsom’s plan is successful, it potentially cancels the Republican profit in Texas.

The purpose of the plan by Newsom is to compete with Texas a step on Congress’s redistribution before next year’s midnight elections.

In Austin, State House of Representatives with GOP-discretion launched the meeting in another direct special session called by Conservative Republican last week. The village. Greg Abbott.

But Republican was prevented from placing votes on a new map for two weeks at the Texas House when dozens of Democratic State Representatives fled the state to deprive GOP to a quorum at Texas House.

Obama wrote on X, “Since Texas is taking direction from a biased White House and in the middle of a decade in the middle of a decade to maintain and maintain the house despite its unpopular policies, Governor Newsom has given tremendous respect for this,” Obama has written on X.

Former Commander In -Chief stated that Newsom put forward a “smart, measured approach” designed to address “a very special problem in a special moment”.

Newsom is making a special election this year so that voter approval can be obtained to undo the constitutional amendments that construct the Nonpartison Recovery Commission to the voter, Fox News Digital first told.
