Trump says DOJ will sue California over redistricting as he celebrates similar Texas effort

President Donald Trump said Monday the Justice Department will sue California over Gov. Gavin Newsom’s push to redraw a Democratic‑leaning congressional map, calling it unfair. The move mirrors Republican efforts in Texas, where new GOP‑drawn districts are expected to give the party five more House seats in 2026. Newsom, who signed bills to advance California’s map as a counter to Texas, responded to Trump’s threat with “BRING IT,” CNBC News has reported. The clash underscores both parties’ aggressive mid‑decade redistricting battles ahead of the next elections.
