Aug. 13 (UPI) -- California Gov. Gavin Newsom said his state will redraw its districts to establish more Democratic congressional seats.
Newsom's office said in a post on X signed with his initials that President Donald Trump missed his deadline of Tuesday evening to respond to a letter he sent the White House on Monday.
In the letter, he demanded that Trump stop the mid-decade, partisan redistricting efforts in heavily Republican states, like Texas and Ohio.
"Donald 'TACO' Trump, as many call him, 'missed' the deadline!!!," Newsom said in an all-caps post mimicking Trump's way of posting on social media. "California will now draw new, more 'beautiful maps,' they will be historic as they will end the Trump presidency (Dems take back the House!). Big press conference this week with powerful Dems and Gavin Newsom -- your favorite governor -- that will be devastating for 'MAGA.' Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
