Texas is about to gerrymander five new house seats, and
California is ready to retaliate. Gov. Gavin Newsom says that his
state will also redraw its congressional maps to create five new
districts, effectively fighting fire with fire.

Laurel Rosenhall, who covers California’s government and
politics, discusses whether the state’s voters will actually go
for this plan, whether it’ll work if they do, and what is at
stake either way.

Guest: Laurel Rosenhall, a New York Times
reporter covering California politics and government.

Background reading:

Mr. Newsom and Democratic state lawmakers moved quickly to
create new districts that could help their party flip five
congressional seats.

The Texas House approved a congressional map intended to help
Republicans win five more U.S. House seats.
