Speaker Johnson vows to fight California Democrats' 'illegal power grab'
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) slammed California Democrats’ proposed House map on Monday, saying he’s taking measures to stop the new congressional lines from advancing.
“Democrats across the nation have played politics with redistricting for decades, and this is just the latest example. Republicans who are following state and federal laws will not be lectured by people who abused the system,” Johnson wrote in a statement on the social platform X.
“I have instructed the NRCC to use every measure and resource possible to fight the California Democrats’ illegal power grab,” he continued, referring to the House Republicans’ campaign arm. “I will continue to lead efforts to defend our House Republican incumbents and grow our majority so that we can continue to deliver on our commonsense, America First agenda.”
California Democrats proposed a new set of congressional lines on Friday, which aim to neutralize the gains Texas is expected to make with their new proposed House map.

Fox is the source of nearly all of our problems and misery the last 25 years. They can be traced back to so much.
