The California governor celebrated Proposition 50's victory Saturday, calling the redistricting battle "the whole thing" for Democratic hopes in upcoming midterm elections.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom used a rally in Houston on Saturday to continue jabbing at President Donald Trump and to thank Texas Democrats for standing up to Gov. Greg Abbott on redistricting.

Celebrating his recent redistricting victory, the California governor swooped into a state led by a Republican rival and sent the latest signal about his presidential ambitions.

While Newsom pushed Democrats on the shutdown, he is also trying to write his party’s comeback story. “The Democratic Party of old” is no more, he told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union,” arguing that the success of his gerrymander in California is evidence of a Democratic resurgence.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Democrats’ sweeping election victory on Tuesday, including the approval of a redistricting ballot measure in his state, “represents a new moment” for the Democratic Party as it debates its path forward.

Gov. Gavin Newsom just celebrated a redistricting win in California that could blunt any GOP congressional gains in Texas in the 2026 midterm election.

Newsom has continued to mock President Trump on social media, mimicking his claims of large crowds at rallies.
