Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York is taking a page out of California’s playbook, pledging to jump into the redistricting wars now that Texas state Republicans have voted on a partisan congressional map.
“We’ll confront Trump’s legal insurrection head on,” Hochul said in a statement after the Texas vote. “We’ll meet him on the same field and beat him at his own game.”
The California state Legislature on Thursday cleared the way for a new map that would likely flip five seats in Congress ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
