Supreme Court allows new California congressional districts that favor Democrats
The Supreme Court denied California GOP's request to block the map, enabling Democrats to counter Texas' GOP-favored districts in the 2026 midterms, court said.
- In an unsigned order Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed California to use its new congressional map for this year's midterm election, denying the state's Republican Party's emergency request.
- California Gov. Gavin Newsom pushed Democratic lawmakers last year, and voters approved Proposition 50 as a counterresponse to Texas' GOP-friendly map.
- A lower federal court last month ruled the lines were drawn on a partisan basis, not a racial one, allowing California's map to be used this year.
- With both rulings upheld, filing for California congressional primaries begins Feb. 9, with candidate deadlines on March 6 and the primary on June 2.
- Redistricting fights continue in other states as legal battles persist in Florida, Maryland, Utah and Virginia, keeping the issue before the Supreme Court this term.
