Newsom says California will draw new electoral maps after Trump ‘missed’ deadline

Governor calls Trump ‘Taco’ online, short for ‘Trump always chickens out’, prompted by president’s flip-flop deadlines Guardian staff Tue 12 Aug 2025 21.26 EDT

California governor Gavin Newsom says the state will draw new electoral maps after Donald Trump “missed” a deadline on Tuesday night in an ongoing redistricting battle between Democratic and Republican states.

“DONALD ‘TACO’ TRUMP, AS MANY CALL HIM, ‘MISSED’ THE DEADLINE!!!”, Newsom’s office wrote on social media. “CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE ‘BEAUTIFUL MAPS,’ THEY WILL BE HISTORIC AS THEY WILL END THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY (DEMS TAKE BACK THE HOUSE!)”.

“BIG PRESS CONFERENCE THIS WEEK WITH POWERFUL DEMS AND GAVIN NEWSOM — YOUR FAVORITE GOVERNOR — THAT WILL BE DEVASTATING FOR ‘MAGA.’ THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GN,” reads the post.

220-215 if all seats are filled right now Dems have 3 open (death) kid touchers have 1 (resigned).

Cali has 52 total with 9 being Red Texas has 38 total with 13 being Blue

Cali can wipe all 9 seats out. Lasson county is +22 Red with a population of about 37k. Nevada county is +5 with 96k pop. You can start stretching lines and eat up red counties quick.

Cali has a little over 10mil democrats vs almost 6mil republicans voters.

Texas has about 8mil democrats vs 6.6mil republicans. They can't swallow all the blue counties.

Republicans win bc they spread out to remote areas. Democrats lose bc they have massive numbers in dense areas.

A 1:1 vote would fix a lot of problems but republicans would be out. 3:1 would be the party outlook for blue:red.

    If Texas couldn't swallow that blue registered voter lead, Abbott wouldn't be a third term governor

    It was more so, texas can't do what california can. There will still be blue areas just not 13 anymore. Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio are to populated to break up unlike Cali red areas.

    Look at the Texas maps, the are jammed in.
