💨 Abstract

A legal battle is set to commence in Los Angeles over California's new congressional map, which aims to help Democrats gain House seats. The Trump administration and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are at odds, with the Justice Department accusing California of gerrymandering to favor Hispanic voters. The court will decide whether the new map can be used in the 2026 elections. The outcome could significantly impact congressional control during Trump's second term.
