Gov. Gavin Newsom of California is accompanied by California and Texas lawmakers as he speaks in support of the Texas Democratic legislators for their walkout, at the Governor's Mansion in Sacramento, Calif., Aug. 8, 2025. Newsom on Thursday, Aug. 14, kicked off his campaign for a proposition asking California voters to approve a new congressional map, an extraordinary move meant to help Democrats win more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives to counter President Donald TrumpÕs request that Texas gerrymander five more seats for Republicans. (Andri Tambunan/The New York Times)"We initiated that operation" in Oakland, Newsom said, "which continues to this day with tremendous success."
