CNN anchor Brianna Keilar on Wednesday pointed out to Rep. Tony Strickland (R-Calif.) that President Donald Trump is willing to erase his district to hold onto the House of Representatives in the midterms,

California voters backed independent redistricting for congressional seats and giving it up to counter President Trump creates a moral conflict even for Democrats.

A California legislative hearing turned into a shouting match Tuesday as a Republican lawmaker clashed with Democrats over a partisan plan to rewrite U.S. House maps to win Democrats more seats.

Republican state lawmakers argue that Democratic lawmakers violated 30-day disclosure rules in the California Constitution.

California Republicans pressed Democrats over the transparency and cost of the proposed redistricting measure.

California is considering redrawing its congressional district maps in response to similar efforts in Texas, but the proposal faces legal challenges from Republicans.

Californians had their first chance Tuesday to tell lawmakers how they feel about a partisan plan to win Democrats more U.S. House seats by making a new political map in response to a Republican redistricting effort in Texas that President Donald Trump wants.

Republicans are taking their battle against Gavin Newsom to court. GOP state lawmakers in California filed a lawsuit on Tuesday to try to block the Democratic governor’s plan to redistrict House seats.
