On Monday, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) held a press conference alongside state Attorney General Rob Bonta (D-CA) to give updates on his state's effort to gerrymander in response to a push by President Trump to gerrymander Texas. One reporter asked him how many seats his redistricting was looking to gather.
00:00There will I'm not asking specifically for anything except a process to unfold with congressional legislation the congressional delegation and members of the California State Assembly and State Senate and that's a process that they're engaging in and it's a process that's very familiar redistricting is very familiar all of us and these are maps that
00:29I'm told are relatively familiar as well the independent redistricting puts out maps all the time have seen many maps over the years and some are approved some are not and those process is unfolding as we speak but it is not a process that I as governor of the state of California am advancing in any detail it is a process that's happening with the delegations it's a process that will be made transparent fully transparent
00:58and the ultimate determination of this approach will be made by the people of the state and we hope that occurs with the special election that will coincide with municipal elections many not all LA city is one others as early as November 4th
01:16as I said we will punch above our weight and we will more than address the concerns that have been expressed by actions in other states
