Will Democrats win the congressional seats Newsom’s gerrymander made competitive?
California's congressional redistricting under Gov. Gavin Newsom aimed to shift five Republican-held districts to Democratic control. The gerrymander's impact is evident in key races like the 22nd District, where progressive Randy Villegas faces moderate Democrat Jasmeet Bains, and the 6th District, where Kevin Kiley challenges Richard Pan. Democrats may gain some seats, but Republicans could retain at least one, such as in Valadao's district.
