President Donald Trump is pushing Republicans in Texas to redraw the state's congressional maps to help ensure the party keeps its majority in the U.S.

California Governor Gavin Newsom issued a warning to President Donald Trump and Texas Republicans amid growing attempts at redrawing Texas's congressional districts to further favor Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. A spokesperson for Newsom told Newsweek his office is "closely tracking what Texas does" and "exploring potential options."

Newsom says Republicans are planning to redraw districts in Texas to add more seats to the House, a practice known as gerrymandering. Newsom has been appearing on podcasts and traveling to other states, calling out Trump's current policies.
