California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Friday accused MAGA Republicans of rigging an election after Virginia’s Supreme Court ruled against state Democrats’ new congressional map.
Newsom noted on the social platform X that Republicans in Tennessee and Missouri, respectively, could each pick up an additional congressional seat through redistricting, along with two more in North Carolina, four more in Florida and five more in Texas.
“Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out,” he wrote. “MAGA has rigged the system.”
Newsom, a potential Democratic presidential contender in 2028, has pushed back on President Trump’s request to red states last year to redraw their congressional maps in order to maintain GOP control over Congress in November’s midterm elections.
The governor spearheaded a measure to increase the Democratic Party’s chances of picking up four or five congressional seats in California this fall. Voters in the state passed the measure, Proposition 50, last year.

Says the guy who supported the VA Democrats who tried to rig redistricting.
They love talking about a nation of laws until it hurts them.
Newsom’s just an election denier.
Calif. is yugely guilty of disenfranchising the GOP over decades.
New Scum is a Joker.
Hey Newsom, you and Bass the Ass murdered 12 people in the Palisades for your “Reimagining” low income housing scam, any comment..I want to see those two scumbags behind bars
I know you are, but what am I...
They didnt mind importing MILLIONS of illegals into this country for the sole purpose of gaining 25+ congressional seats, they are lucky they still have those
Maybe he can go the the French Laundry and get washed up?
Texas and Louisiana didn’t rig anything. They were court ordered by democrats to add another democrat black district. Finally the courts said that was illegal. so they are just now getting to implement the map they always wanted since the last census.
I think the Democrat Party, at this point, has a short half-life. Too much stuff is coming out, from too many angles. People will see the truth.
The media will shield and protect, of course. But once the writing is on the wall, smart people at the top of media will see that the whole concept of “Mainstream Media” is going to go utterly extinct — or else they will just start to cover the story. It’s a big story. It’s beyond Pulitzer big. Either start to cover the story while the Deep State dies or just go die with the Deep State. I don’t think it’s going to be a tough choice.
And once the media is lost, then the whole game is really over for these guys.
Just his feet…oh, that’s Mandami
What a Maroon
‘Rat Projection……
A corrupt, dyslexic, liar and adulterer whose only goal is power—never forget that.
The Dems have used gerrymandering for years. Pubs are just starting. We have a lot to gain in the catch up.
Praying they are going the way of the Liberal Party in the UK.
Bring the evidence or STFU.
