Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic state lawmakers moved quickly to create new districts that could help their party flip five congressional seats. Their plan still requires voter approval.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed California's new redistricting plan that could slash five Republican-held House seats to counter Texas' mid-decade redraw of its congressional map.

The redistricting effort in California is in response to Texas, where Republican lawmakers are pushing new redistricting maps at Trump's request.
