Fresh off a resounding victory to gerrymander congressional maps to help Democrats, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California chose to celebrate in the place where the nation’s escalating redistricting fight started: Texas.
“We can shape the future here in Texas,” he said on Saturday at a union hall in Houston packed with cheering Democrats. “We can shape the future here all across the South and across the United States of America. You have that power. You do. Not Donald Trump.”
Against the backdrop of an enormous American flag befitting a national campaign event, Mr. Newsom framed the redistricting battle in historic terms. The rally by the California governor, who grinned as shouts of “2028” echoed out, was yet another signal of his hopes to run for president, a possibility he openly acknowledged last month.
Indeed, one of the warm-up speakers, Representative Al Green of Texas, seemed to all but endorse Mr. Newsom for the nation’s highest office.
“I’m here today because he is a future president of the United States of America,” Mr. Green said.
But for Mr. Newsom, it was also another chapter in an intensifying rivalry between the governors of the country’s two most populous states. He and Greg Abbott, the Republican governor of Texas, have for years engaged in schoolyard taunting and showy stunts, with Mr. Abbott sending planes of migrants to Los Angeles in 2023.
“Eat your heart out, Greg Abbott,” Mr. Newsom said as he began his speech on Saturday.
The two states have been on a political collision course ever since word leaked in June that President Trump had urged Texas to help Republicans in the midterm elections by taking the rare step of redrawing its congressional maps in the middle of the decade.

He thinks he’s running against Trump. LOL
Newsome doesn’t plan on winning the presidency in 2028. He plans on getting tons of campaign donations.
Newsome/Pence 2028
Al Green who got kicked out of the State of Union for yelling and shaking his cane.
He’s just there to visit with the ex-Californians.
Texas started the redistricting? I’m pretty sure that was California.
I wonder HOW MANY STATES WANT TO BE LIKE CALIFORNIA ??
CERTAINLY NIT TEXAS !!!
Oh, THAT’s funny. Thanks.
May god help us if people buy into this clowns lies and duplicity
We done did ours. Greasy asa is only welcome in the corrupt inner cities of Texas, the minute he leaves that bubble, he find out real quick what people actually think of that polished turd.
Consider staccato speech, lunar logic, an odd concept of reality, skinny, highly animated to the point of inability to be still, and this to the point of nonstop hand gestures that make sense only to him.
How about some frequent and comprehensive drug screening (with multiple-split samples divided among multiple laboratories)?
(Actually, shouldn't all candidates and members of Congress should do this on a routine basis...just to reassure clean blood from those who seek or occupy positions of immense trust?)
Just a guess, of course, contrary opinions invited.

Gavin, Men don’t want trannies touching their wives. Especially the black Pastor in Edmond, OK.
The guy literally got a pro democrat plan passed in a state with 2 million more registered Democrats that’s kinda like the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer joins karate class and starts beating up on 10 year olds.
Help me out: what is “Greasy Asa?”
Gerrymanders for me but not for thee.
Maybe Newsome should tap Kamala to be his campagn chair?
