Supreme Court Permits California Map Benefiting Democrats

The Supreme Court issued an unsigned order permitting California to utilize a new voter-approved congressional map that is expected to favor Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections.The ruling rejected an emergency appeal from Donald Trump and state Republicans who claimed the redistricting was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander aimed at shifting five seats to the Democratic Party.Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta praised the decision as a victory for democracy following similar legal battles over partisan maps in Texas and New York.
