California Democrats on Friday released their redistricting proposal, aiming to produce up to five additional Democratic seats in the US House in response to Texas Republicans’ mid-decade redrawing of lines at the behest of President Donald Trump.

The California Legislature comes back from a summer recess and is slated to vote on a partisan plan to redraw congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Democrats have argued that they must respond to Trump’s call for Texas to redraw its maps, as the president asked for another five Republican seats. However, while the Texas Legislature is choosing new district lines, California Democrats say they’re using a transparent process and putting the issue to the voters.
