In a sharply worded message to President Donald Trump, California Governor Gavin Newsom made it unmistakably clear on Monday that he considers the attempt by Republican-led states to redraw congressional districts in the middle of the decade as an attack on the foundations of American democracy \u2013 and one he will not leave unanswered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the letter, dated August 11, Newsom calls on Trump to dissuade the governor of Texas and other \u201cred\u201d states from a plan he describes as an \u201cunprecedented, hyper-partisan gerrymander.\u201d The goal of this redistricting, he says, is to skew the 2026 midterm elections in favor of Republicans before the first vote is even cast. \u201cYou are playing with fire, risking the destabilization of our democracy, knowing that California can neutralize any gains you hope to make,\u201d Newsom warns.<\/p>\n\n\n

B\u00dcRO DES GOUVERNEURS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. August 2025<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Pr\u00e4sident Donald J. Trump
    Das Wei\u00dfe Haus
    1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
    Washington, DC 20500<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Betreff: Einstellung der Umverteilungsbem\u00fchungen zur Jahrzeitsmitte<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sehr geehrter Herr Pr\u00e4sident,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    ich schreibe Ihnen, um Sie aufzufordern, den Gouverneur von Texas und andere republikanisch regierte Bundesstaaten, die auf Ihre Bitte hin neue Wahlkreiszuschnitte f\u00fcr den Kongress entwerfen, anzuweisen, diese Bem\u00fchungen zu stoppen. Diese neuen Karten w\u00fcrden durch eine beispiellose, parteipolitisch motivierte Umverteilung zur Jahrzeitsmitte (\u201ehyper-partisan gerrymander\u201c) die bevorstehenden Zwischenwahlen manipulieren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sie spielen mit dem Feuer und riskieren die Destabilisierung unserer Demokratie, wohlwissend, dass Kalifornien in der Lage ist, jeden von Ihnen erhofften Vorteil auszugleichen. Dieser Versuch, Kongresswahlkreise neu zuzuschneiden, um die Macht zu sichern, bevor auch nur eine einzige Stimme bei der Wahl 2026 abgegeben wird, ist ein Affront gegen die amerikanische Demokratie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Das ist nicht das, was die Gr\u00fcnderv\u00e4ter vorgesehen haben, und Kalifornien kann nicht tatenlos zusehen, wie sich dieses Machtspiel entfaltet. Ich tue dies nicht leichtfertig, da ich der \u00dcberzeugung bin, dass gesetzliche Wahlkreisgrenzen von unabh\u00e4ngigen, b\u00fcrgergef\u00fchrten Initiativen festgelegt werden sollten \u2013 so, wie wir es in Kalifornien seit zwei Jahrzehnten praktizieren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Wenn Sie nicht einlenken, werde ich gezwungen sein, eine Gegeninitiative zu starten, um die Wahlkreise in Kalifornien neu zuzuschneiden, um die Manipulation der Wahlkreise in republikanischen Staaten auszugleichen. Sollten die anderen Bundesstaaten jedoch ihre Umverteilungspl\u00e4ne aufgeben, werden auch wir dies tun. Und die amerikanische Demokratie wird dadurch gewinnen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Signature<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Gavin Newsom
    Gouverneur von Kalifornien<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    The Democrat makes it clear that this is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind. For two decades, California\u2019s district boundaries have been drawn by independent citizen commissions \u2013 a model designed to prevent partisan manipulation. \u201cCalifornia cannot stand idly by as this power play unfolds,\u201d he writes. If Trump does not back down, he says, he will be forced to launch an effort to redraw California\u2019s districts to counteract the manipulation in Republican states. If the other side drops its plans, California will do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is an unusually direct tone between a governor and the president \u2013 and a clear signal that the dispute over the rules of American democracy is no longer being waged in quiet committees but in public. Newsom\u2019s message reads like both a warning and a challenge: anyone who undermines the democratic foundations must expect California to strike back \u2013 and with the same means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Investigative journalism requires courage, conviction \u2013 and your support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
