After last week outlining a plan to ask voters to approve new congressional maps across California this year, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday his plan would be triggered only if Texas executes its own redistricting effort first.

Schwarzenegger opposes Newsom's plan to eliminate California's independent redistricting commission amid a national battle over congressional district maps.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday he plans to put new district lines in front of voters in a special election on Nov. 4, but only if Texas moves forward with its redistricting plans.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said the process would include making new maps available to voters and asking them to approve the redistricting plan during a special election held on Tuesday, Nov. 4.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday defended his push for a Republican-backed plan to redraw Texas congressional districts before the midterm congressional elections in 2026.
