Feb. 4 (UPI) -- The Supreme Court on Wednesday denied a California Republican Party and Trump administration request to stop California from implementing its new redistricting map ahead of the midterm election.
The court issued a one-sentence ruling denying a writ of injunction pending the outcome of a federal appellate court ruling on the matter. The court did not provide an explanation or a vote total on the decision.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom welcomed news of the ruling in a social media post and cited the redistricting in Texas as spurring the change in California.
"[President] Donald Trump said he was 'entitled' to five more congressional seats in Texas," Newsom said.
