Democrats get police escorts to prevent a new redistricting walkout as California moves to retaliate
Texas Democrats have ended a two-week walkout that stalled efforts to redraw congressional districts as part of a national partisan brawl over President Donald Trump’s desire to reshape U.S. House maps to his advantage.
California has an overwhelmingly Democratic delegation in Congress. Gov. Newsom’s plan could give his party five more seats and offset a Texas gerrymander.
Min has been active on X since that post, on both his official congressional account and personal one, criticizing Trump for killing clean energy projects and sharing photos of his visits with local Democratic clubs in Irvine over the weekend.
Rep. David Valadao currently represents the district, winning in 2024 by about 7 points. However, the area was represented by former Rep. TJ Cox, D-Calif., from 2018 to 2020, when it was the 21st District. Valadao, who represented the area from the 2012 elections until the 2018 midterms, won back the seat in 2020.
