California's state legislature on Thursday passed the bills that comprise the state's plan to put new congressional bills on the ballot in a November special election, in retaliation for a congressional redistricting plan moving forward in Texas.

The Republican-controlled Texas House of Representatives passed Wednesday a redrawn congressional map that creates up to five new winnable GOP seats in Congress.

Longtime Congressman Lloyd Doggett said he will not seek reelection if the new congressional maps are put into effect.

The special election is a response by Democrats to Texas Republicans’ push to redraw their state’s congressional map at President Donald Trump’s urging.

California’s Democratic-controlled Legislature opened debate on a package to revise the map and place it in front of voters for final approval in a special November election. The election is necessary because California Democrats must override their state’s voter-approved nonpartisan commission that drew the existing congressional map.
