Newsom admits California redistricting plan may fall short of Democratic goals
Governor Gavin Newsom said Democrats might not capture all five Republican-held seats targeted by the new California map, though they remain optimistic.
In a recent interview, Governor Gavin Newsom acknowledged that the Democratic Party could face challenges winning every one of the five Republican districts outlined in California’s new redistricting map created under Proposition 50. He emphasized that the party still aims to flip those seats but cautioned against overconfidence. The comments come as Newsom is expected to consider a 2028 presidential run.
