CA Gov. Newsom has threatened to “fight fire with fire” as Texas Republicans move to redraw congressional districts in a high-stakes standoff.

The maps achieve a five-seat swing largely by shaving slivers of Republican strongholds from ruby red districts and placing them inside three urban districts.

President Donald Trump said Republicans deserve to redraw the Texas electoral map. “I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you probably know. And we are entitled to five more seats,” he said Tuesday in an interview with CNBC.
