California may lose political clout as slowing population growth threatens electoral votes.

California's political influence may decline due to its slowing population growth. The state has already lost a congressional seat and could lose four or more after the 2030 census, reducing its electoral votes. Factors like out-migration, lower birth rates, and higher death rates are contributing to this trend, potentially shifting political power to states like Texas and Florida. This could impact future presidential elections, with the Democratic party facing fewer electoral votes from California.
