"We're going to be [suing] through the Department of Justice," Trump said when asked about Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom's redistricting push in California.

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.

      There a specific spot in Texas where you’re guaranteed one MAGA guy, there are other places with more sympathetic judges that can be chosen.
