President Donald Trump said on Monday, the Ministry of Justice Gov. He said that Gavin Newsom would sue Californiya about efforts to draw a new, democratic -prone congress map.
The redistribution pressure in California was fired to further support republicans with a similar effort to Gerrymander Key House districts in Texas.
“I think I’m going to sue very soon, and I think we’ll be very successful in this matter, Tr Trump said about the reputation pressure of Newsom during a long press event in Oval Office.
“We will open this through the Ministry of Justice. This will be,” he said.
Newsoma immediately responded on social media: “Bring it.”
Trump’s statement that the government wanted to challenge the California plan praised the coding efforts of Republican Texas legislators to coding a new map that would give an advantage in five US home race in the 2026 midterm elections to the GOP.
This map passed Texas State Senate Early on Saturday morning, he sent the Republican Greg Abbott’s table to be signed into the law.
He said: “The incredible people of Texas will have the opportunity to choose five more Republicanists for the Congress thanks to a great victory for Republicans in Texas and throughout the country thanks to the passing of much more fair new maps!” Trump wrote on Thursday after the map passed through the state house.

Once each new US census has emerged in the distribution of population, the house’s redistribution efforts usually take place every 10 years. However, the Texas redistribution plan takes place in the middle of the decade and receives intense criticism from democrats throughout the country.
Newsom, which is commonly seen as a 2028 presidential contestant, managed the accusation of the Democratic Party, defending California’s re -drawing its own congress map and serving as a weight against Texas.
Last week, Newsom signed two redistribution invoices and prepared a special election in November that it would finalize the new congress map.
Trump’s pressure on pressure for a mid -year redistribution over Texas believes how important the President of the Republicans to protect the control of both congress chambers.
But Trump is already faced with winds: his approval ratings It is decreasing according to numerous surveys and the President Party It tends to lose seats In midterm exams.
