Governor Gavin Newsom launched a campaign for a November ballot measure to redistrict California, similarly to Texas' actions aimed at supporting Republicans. This strategy seeks to create up to six more Democratic congressional seats, countering the Republican efforts in Texas. Newsom’s proposal is known as the Election Rigging Response Act and needs voter approval in the upcoming special election. During the rally, US Border Patrol agents were present, creating an intimidating atmosphere, and arrests were made, demonstrating tensions surrounding the event.
"Before one vote is cast in the 2026 midterm elections, here [Trump] is once again trying to rig the system. He doesn't play by a different set of rules."
"We have got to recognize the cards that have been dealt. And we have got to meet fire with fire."
"Newsom's measure would be called the Election Rigging Response Act."
"Newsom might get his way, with a plan that would redraw California's maps to create as many as six more Democratic seats."
