As Texas hurtles toward a flashpoint on a GOP effort to redraw congressional districts, California Democrats are answering with a plan of their own.

“We are entitled to five more seats” in Texas, Trump insisted Tuesday in a CNBC interview. He pointed to California’s existing maps, which are drawn by an independent commission unlike the Texas maps crafted by a partisan legislature: “They did it to us.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom has gone on the offensive against Trump, trolling him on social media and pushing back against the GOP's gerrymandering efforts. But is that enough to get Democrats back in power?
