As Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom pushes a new redistricting proposal in response to actions by Republican-led states like Texas, he has received support from former President Barack Obama.

“We’re only going to do it if and when Texas and/or other Republican states begin to pull these maneuvers,” Obama said. Newsom’s proposal could increase the number of Democratic House seats in California from 43 to 48.
The plan follows reports that Texas is seeking to add five Republican-leaning districts.
