Gavin Newsom Is Going Viral For Shutting Down JD Vance With One Single Map [View all]

In case you didn't know, Texas Republicans are redrawing the state's congressional districts in an attempt to gain five more seats to strengthen their narrow House majority in the 2026 midterm elections.

A few weeks ago, Trump said he was encouraging them to do this. When asked if he wanted a complete redraw of the Texas map, Trump said, "No, just a simple redraw. We pick up five seats."

Needless to say, Dems aren't happy about it, with some people calling on California and Gavin Newsom to do something: "Gavin Newsom if you can hear me save me Gavin Newsom. Save me Gavin Newsom."

JD Vance must have been seeing these tweets because he sent out this one accusing California of gerrymandering, "The gerrymander in California is outrageous. Of their 52 congressional districts, 9 of them are Republican. That means 17 percent of their delegation is Republican when Republicans regularly win 40 percent of the vote in that state. How can this possibly be allowed?"
