California Republican lawmakers are suing to block Governor Gavin Newsom’s redistricting plan from the November ballot, as President Trump vows his own lawsuit against the state’s effort to redraw its congressional maps to favor Democrats. That’s despite Trump encouraging a similar effort in Texas that favors Republicans. Meanwhile, Newsom is trolling the President on social media, co-opting his taunting style. We’ll talk with KQED’s politics team about Newsom’s tactics and get the latest redistricting news. What do you think of the Governor’s methods?
