In 'Cringe' Tweet, Newsom Announces California to Draw New Electoral Maps

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that California will redraw its House maps after President Trump did not respond to a letter calling on his administration to back off its push for Texas and other red states to carry out mid-decade redistricting.
"DONALD 'TACO' TRUMP, AS MANY CALL HIM, 'MISSED' THE DEADLINE!!!" Newsom wrote, parroting Trump's Truth Social posts. "CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE 'BEAUTIFUL MAPS,' THEY WILL BE HISTORIC AS THEY WILL END THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY (DEMS TAKE BACK THE HOUSE!). BIG PRESS CONFERENCE THIS WEEK WITH POWERFUL DEMS AND GAVIN NEWSOM — YOUR FAVORITE GOVERNOR — THAT WILL BE DEVASTATING FOR 'MAGA.' THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GN"
The post came after Newsom sent a letter to Trump on Monday warning him about redistricting efforts.
“You are playing with fire, risking the destabilization of our democracy, while knowing that California can neutralize any gains you hope to make," he said.
“If you will not stand down, I will be forced to lead an effort to redraw the maps in California to offset the rigging of maps in red states,” Newsom added. “But if the other states call off their redistricting efforts, we will happily do the same.”
