As PJ Media readers know, Newsom—clearly auditioning for the 2028 presidential race—has been posturing in response to Texas Republicans' redistricting efforts by threatening to gerrymander California even more than it already is. The irony seems completely lost on him that his own party has long been the worst offender when it comes to gerrymandering. In reality, Texas Republicans are simply working to level a playing field that Democrats had already rigged in their favor.
