flag Obama backs CA Prop 50 to let Dems redraw House maps, citing fair representation.

flag Former President Barack Obama has endorsed California’s Proposition 50, a ballot measure that would allow state Democrats to override the independent redistricting commission and redraw U.S. House district boundaries. flag The initiative, backed by Governor Gavin Newsom, aims to counter Republican gerrymandering in states like Texas and potentially flip up to five Republican-held House seats in the 2026 midterms. flag Obama framed the effort as a defense against partisan manipulation of electoral maps, warning that changing rules midstream undermines democracy. flag The measure is set for a vote on November 4, 2025, and has sparked debate over fair representation and the role of partisanship in redistricting.
