Newsom Will Halt Redistricting If Trump Backs Down

“California Governor Gavin Newsom urged President Donald Trump to call on the Texas governor and leaders of other Republican-led states to halt efforts to redraw congressional maps, saying the most populous US state will stand down if they do,” Bloomberg reports.

Said Newsom: “You are playing with fire, risking the destabilization of our democracy, while knowing that California can neutralize any gains you hope to make. If the other states call off their redistricting efforts, we will happily do the same.”
