Black Information Network on MSNCalifornia Governor Vows To Draw New Maps To 'End The Trump Presidency'
California Governor Gavin Newsom has vowed to draw new congressional maps aimed at helping Democrats "take back the House" and “End the Trump Presidency" amid gerrymandering efforts in Texas backed by the president.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott immediately called another special session to pass a new congressional map, after the first attempt failed due to the Texas Democrats leaving the state to deny the Republicans the opportunity to carve out additional GOP seats.
Texas Republicans ended a legislative session without approving new congressional maps but, still plan to satisfy President Donald Trump’s wishes for redistricting that bolsters their party.
