【Key Focus: California Voters Approve New U.S. House Map Aimed at Boosting Democrats in 2026】
On November 5, 2025, Washington time, the Associated Press wrote in a press release:
California voters approved a new U.S. House map aimed at boosting Democrats in 2026. This new map, drawn and passed by the Democratic-controlled state legislature and pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom, may help flip five seats from the Republicans to the Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections. The map will be implemented over the next three election cycles.
This measure was introduced in response to Texas's mid-term redistricting, which also aims to flip five seats to elect more Republicans. This voting measure, known as Proposition 50, instructs the independent California congressional redistricting commission to resume drawing the congressional map in 2031.
