California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Friday that the Golden State will move forward with a special election in early November to place its own redistricting plan on a ballot measure before voters.

Gov. Gavin Newsom and California legislative and congressional members stood with Texas state lawmakers in their opposition to President Trump's plan to redraw voting maps to hold onto power in the midterm election.

Texas House Democrats who have left the state to block a vote on redistricting were hosted by California leaders on Friday.
