Newsom Goes to War With Trump Over 2026 Midterms | Hans von Spakovsky

California voters greenlit Gov. Gavin Newsom’s war against President Donald Trump for control in the 2026 midterms. 


Voters in California approved of Proposition 50, a ballot measure that allows Newsom and Democrats to take control of redistricting from the state’s independent commission, by an overwhelming margin—nearly 2-to-1. Democrat victory in the Proposition 50 fight, not to mention the other off-year elections, is the Left’s strongest sally yet in what has become known as the redistricting wars. Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, joins “The Signal Sitdown” to discuss.


“What Prop 50 does is it temporarily takes away the power from the independent redistricting commission to draw up congressional districts so the Legislature can do it, and they're going to use that power to redraw the congressional districts,” von Spakovsky told The Daily Signal.

A 2008 referendum first established the independent redistricting commission that California voters rejected Tuesday.
