"California Democrats are reportedly weighing whether they will redo the state's Congressional map that would redraw five Republican-held districts into Democratic districts ahead of the 2026 midterms.

 

The possible redrawing comes after the Texas state legislature decided to redo its map, which caused an outcry from the state's Democratic lawmakers. Dozens of state lawmakers fled Texas over the weekend to deny Republicans the quorum they'd need to advance a congressional map that would give them five pickup opportunities.

 

A draft of the proposed redistricting in California would increase the Democratic margin to 48 of California’s 52 congressional seats, up from the 43 seats the party currently holds, but it would need to be approved by lawmakers and voters.

 

The proposal would redraw lines that would effectively make it harder for incumbent GOP Reps. Kevin Kiley, Ken Calvert, Darrell Issa, David Valadao and Doug LaMalfa to win reelection, according to the Associated Press."
