As expected, California voters in November approved Prop 50 which could help the Democrats flip 5 congressional seats in 2026.
Thanks to ballot drop boxes, mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting, and illegal aliens, voters approved Newsom’s power grab to eliminate five GOP congressional seats through 2030.
“The five California Republicans targeted by the redistricting plan include Representatives Doug LaMalfa in District 1, Kevin Kiley in District 3, David Valadao in District 22, Ken Calvert in District 41, and Darrell Issa in District 48,” KCRA reported.

President Trump previously called the redistricting vote in California a “giant scam” and said it is under criminal review.
“The Unconstitutional Redistricting Vote in California is a GIANT SCAM in that the entire process, in particular the Voting itself, is RIGGED. All “Mail-In” Ballots, where the Republicans in that State are “Shut Out,” is under very serious legal and criminal review. STAY TUNED!” President Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The California GOP also sued to block Newsom’s new congressional map.
Last month, in a 2-1 decision, a three-judge panel rejected the GOP’s argument (Obama and Biden judges) that the new congressional map is unconstitutional because of racial gerrymandering.
The one lone Trump judge on the panel dissented.
Newsom gloated after the federal court rejected the GOP’s bid to block his power grab.
“Republicans’ weak attempt to silence voters failed. California voters overwhelmingly supported Prop 50 – to respond to Trump’s rigging in Texas – and that is exactly what this court concluded,” Newsom said in a statement.
On Wednesday, Newsom took another victory lap after the Supreme Court rejected the GOP effort to stop his power grab.
