Proposed new congressional maps in California could help Democrats flip five Republican seats and bolster around five Democratic incumbents in toss-up districts.

The new, partisan maps come on the heels of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s launch of California’s redistricting campaign on Thursday, an effort he touted as meant to favor Democrats in California in the upcoming midterm elections as a counter to similar efforts in Republican-led states elsewhere in the country.

California Democrats released proposed congressional redistricting maps as their fight with Trump and Texas escalates.

Democrats in California have unveiled a new congressional district map aimed at flipping five Republican-held seats to favor Democrats in the upcoming elections, part of a broader trend of redistricting efforts across the country.

In a statement, the House Democratic Caucus said its lawyers had advised returning “to build a strong public legislative record for the upcoming legal battle” against the GOP’s map.

The new maps could also see more Democrats added into the Central Valley district of GOP Rep. David Valadao, who has already been able to defy gravity in a seat with a Democratic registration advantage.

The measure, which would appear on the ballot in the state this November if lawmakers approve it, comes in response to Texas Republicans' mid-decade redistricting push.
