Exclusive—Elizabeth Barcohana: Newsom’s Proposition 50 Will Grow the Hamas Caucus in WashingtonElizabeth Barcohana 21 Oct 2025
California Gov. Gavin Newsom bluffed himself into a gerrymander war that Republicans won before he could even get a shot off. He threatened that California would “fight fire with fire” (poor choice of words, Gav) by offsetting the five new GOP seats in Texas with five new Democrat seats in California. But the threat was a bluff.
Newsom gambled that if he just made the threat, Texas would back down or the GOP-controlled House would step in and implement a national ceasefire. But they didn’t, and so Newsom accidentally dragged his whole Party into a $100+ million campaign funded, among others, by George Soros and labor unions to put the matter to a vote in a special election in California on November 4, 2025.
Prop 50 will amend California’s Constitution to suspend the non-partisan maps drawn by the state’s Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission, replacing them with partisan maps hastily drawn behind closed doors by a Democrat operative paid by Rep. Nancy Pelosi.
In the meantime, a handful of red states (whose maps are not drawn by independent commissions of citizens, but by their GOP-controlled state legislatures) continued to redraw their maps and add more GOP seats. So, no matter what the outcome is in California’s November 4 special election, the Republicans have successfully increased their majority. Nationally, the Democrats already lost.
But Prop 50 is still a danger not just for California or Republicans, but for everyone.
In California, five Republican-held districts could be transformed into Democrat seats, and four vulnerable Democrats sitting in toss up districts will be made safer for re-election. Toss up seats are good for democracy because every vote really counts. As a result, the incumbent is under more pressure to be responsive to his constituents. Prop 50 could eliminate up to nine of California’s toss up districts, pre-determining election outcomes, silencing every voter – Democrats, Republicans, and Independents – and incentivizing radical extremism funded by far left special interests.
