flag Obama backs Calif. vote to let legislature redraw congressional districts, citing GOP gerrymandering fears.

flag Former President Barack Obama has released a 30-second TV ad urging California voters to support Proposition 50, a measure that would allow the state legislature to bypass the independent redistricting commission and redraw congressional boundaries. flag The initiative, backed by Governor Gavin Newsom, aims to counter Republican redistricting efforts in Texas that Democrats argue give the GOP an unfair advantage. flag Obama warned that Republicans seek to "steal enough seats" to influence future elections, framing the vote as a defense of democratic fairness. flag If passed, the measure could shift California’s congressional delegation toward more Democratic seats, altering the balance of power in the U.S. House ahead of the 2026 midterms. flag The vote is scheduled for November 4, 2025.
