Newsom's Redistricting Royale: Democrats vs. Texas Showdown!
California Governor Gavin Newsom is playing redistricting chess with a 22-point polling lead on Proposition 50, aimed at creating Democrat-friendly districts as a jab at GOP's Texas tactics. Pollster David Binder reports '57% of California voters backed the redistricting measure'âthat's up from July's 51%. Interestingly, support shifts drastically based on the pitch: voters dislike ditching the independent commission but love a temporary redo triggered by Texas Republicans. Newsom's aggressive moves and 'feisty social media operation' are earning him cheers in Democratic circles, all while the U.S. House hangs on a razor-thin seven-seat Republican majority. For a fun fact, Governor Newsom might just be the most meme-able redistricting warrior yet!
