California Governor Gavin Newsom led a campaign-style rally on Thursday for a redistricting plan to foil what he called President Donald Trump's bid to rig the next congressional race and cement his Republican House majority by redrawing the political map of Texas.

California Gov. Newsom moves forward with putting proposed congressional maps on the ballot in Nov. 4 special election in attempt to counter GOP redistricting in Texas.

As Texas hurtles toward a flashpoint on a GOP effort to redraw congressional districts, California Democrats are answering with a plan of their own.
