Donald Trump said the Department of Justice will sue California over Gov. Gavin Newsom’s efforts to draw a new congressional map.
Newsom, a Democrat and 2028 presidential contender, promptly responded on social media: “BRING IT.”
Trump has praised a similar effort by Texas Republican legislators to codify a new map that would give the GOP an even greater advantage in key House seats in the 2026 midterm elections.
A nationwide injunction may not be issued as easily, but the precedence does still matter in a case like this.
Well the rub here is that a new case will need to be filed in Texas’ federal district and their federal district judges always rubber stamp everything the president wants.
There a specific spot in Texas where you’re guaranteed one MAGA guy, there are other places with more sympathetic judges that can be chosen.
