California: Governor Newsom on Republicans losing challenge to new Congressional maps at U.S. Supreme Court
The Californer/10338434

~ In a recent decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has denied a challenge brought by California Republicans and supported by former President Trump's Department of Justice regarding the state's new Congressional maps. This news comes as a victory for Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta, who have been vocal in their support for the new maps.

Governor Newsom released a statement in response to the decision, stating that "Donald Trump said he was 'entitled' to five more Congressional seats in Texas. He started this redistricting war. He lost, and he'll lose again in November." This statement highlights the contentious nature of the redistricting process and the involvement of former President Trump.

Attorney General Bonta also expressed his satisfaction with the Supreme Court's decision, stating that it is "good news not only for Californians, but for our democracy." He went on to remind people of how this challenge came about, with former President Trump telling Governor Greg Abbott that Republicans were entitled to more seats in Texas. In response, Governor Newsom and the state legislature advanced Proposition 50, which was ultimately supported by Californians.
