Obama backs Newsom’s redistricting plan; calls it a ‘smart, measured’ response to Texas

Barack Obama supports Gavin Newsom's redistricting plan in California as a response to Republican gerrymandering efforts in Texas. Obama praised Newsom's approach as responsible, emphasising the need to counter Republican actions to maintain fair elections. Newsom's proposal, Proposition 50, aims to reshape districts if Texas pushes through mid-decade changes, potentially boosting Democrats in future elections.
