Gavin Newsom is about to find out that when you take on President Trump head-to-head, you don’t often win!
He’s about to learn the hard way.
Because as California is currently engaged in aggressive Redistricting, President Trump just called it “Unconstitutional” and “a GIANT SCAM” and said it is now under “criminal review”.

Local KCRA explains how the redrawn maps would shift power:
What does California’s Congressional district map look like?
California currently has 52 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Democrats hold 43 of them, while Republicans have nine.
According to the submitted map, it shows that LaMalfa’s inland rural district would remove many of his Republican North State constituents and stretch west to encompass more Democratic voters along the coast.
“If you want to know what’s wrong with these maps – just take a look at them,” LaMalfa said in a statement Friday. “How on earth does Modoc County on the Nevada and Oregon Border have any common interest with Marin County and the Golden Gate Bridge? Voters took this power from Sacramento for just this reason. This is naked politics at its worst.”
Kiley’s redrawn map includes parts of Democratic-leaning Sacramento County and removes a large swath of the Eastern Sierra.
“Make no mistake, I will win reelection to the House regardless of the proposed changes to my district,” Kiley said Friday. “I fully expect that the beautiful 3rd District will remain exactly as it is. We will defeat Newsom’s sham initiative and vindicate the will of California voters.”
A source familiar with District 6 Congressman Ami Bera’s thinking said Bera is now exploring all of his options to keep representing the Sacramento region, including potentially running for District 3 if the new maps are approved.
“I have had the honor of representing the Sacramento region in Congress since 2013. I intend to continue representing the Sacramento region in the next Congress,” Bera said. “Right now, we must stop Donald Trump and Texas Republicans from gerrymandering their way to a House majority in 2026. I look forward to supporting this ballot initiative to level the playing field and fight back against Donald Trump’s destructive agenda.”
