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

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.

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

Top Democrats released a draft congressional map Friday that may lead to Republicans losing five US House seats as Gov. Gavin Newsom pushes to offset possible GOP gains from redistricting in Texas.

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.
