US EditionCalif. Democrats reveal map that could gain them five House seats
California Democrats propose a mid-decade redistricting plan to gain five House seats, aiming to counter Republican efforts and expand their majority ahead of 2026 elections.
- In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a Nov. 4, 2025, special election to ask voters about suspending the independent redistricting commission for the next three federal elections.
- Countering GOP efforts, California Democrats proposed their own plan after President Donald Trump urged Texas Republicans to redraw maps.
- According to legislative estimates, Democrats currently hold 43 seats and could expand to 48 of California’s 52 U.S. House seats.
- Election administrators are pressed for time, as Democrats need to approve the package by Thursday, leaving local officials less than two months to prepare ballots.
- Supporters say if California completes the plan by Aug. 22, the new map activates for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections, contingent on Republican redistricting first.
