KEY POINTS

Donald Trump said the Department of Justice will sue California over Gov. Gavin Newsom’s efforts to draw a new congressional map.

Newsom, a Democrat and 2028 presidential contender, promptly responded on social media: “BRING IT.”

Trump has praised a similar effort by Texas Republican legislators to codify a new map that would give the GOP an even greater advantage in key House seats in the 2026 midterm elections.
