Proposed new congressional maps in California could help Democrats flip five Republican seats and bolster around five Democratic incumbents in toss-up districts.

California Democrats released proposed congressional redistricting maps as their fight with Trump and Texas escalates.

The new, partisan maps come on the heels of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s launch of California’s redistricting campaign on Thursday, an effort he touted as meant to favor Democrats in California in the upcoming midterm elections as a counter to similar efforts in Republican-led states elsewhere in the country.

Democrats in California have unveiled a new congressional district map aimed at flipping five Republican-held seats to favor Democrats in the upcoming elections, part of a broader trend of redistricting efforts across the country.

In a display of cutthroat yet calculated politics, Democrats unveiled a proposal Friday that could give California's dominant political party an additional five U.S. House seats in a bid to win the fight to control Congress next year.

The new maps could also see more Democrats added into the Central Valley district of GOP Rep. David Valadao, who has already been able to defy gravity in a seat with a Democratic registration advantage.

The measure, which would appear on the ballot in the state this November if lawmakers approve it, comes in response to Texas Republicans' mid-decade redistricting push.
