California Gov. Gavin Newsom, fresh off a redistricting win, is planning to travel to COP30 in Brazil next week to showcase America's resolve for addressing the climate crisis.

Voters are deciding whether to approve California's Proposition 50 to temporarily use gerrymandered districts that favor Democrats.

Many of the advisers guiding Democrats’ mid-cycle redistricting push have been in the trenches with the California governor for years.

A packed house of supporters roared Monday as Governor Gavin Newsom made his closing argument for Proposition 50, a ballot measure that could reshape California's congressional maps.

According to a poll released last Thursday from the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, co-sponsored by the LA Times, six out of 10 likely voters support Prop. 50, the Nov. 4 statewide ballot measure that would redraw California’s congressional districts and give Democrats a boost toward regaining control of the House.

Some of Prop. 50’s opponents are also privately resigned to the reality that the measure will pass, despite putting on a defiant game face.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday renewed his call for support of a ballot initiative that would redraw congressional voting maps in the state.
