Top Democrats in California are backing a ballot initiative that would allow the state Legislature to redraw California’s electoral maps. At a rally in Los Angeles, Governor Gavin Newsom said California Democrats would now play by the same set of rules as Texas Republicans.

Gov. Gavin Newsom: “Today is Liberation Day in the state of California. And as Senator Schiff said — as Senator Schiff said, Donald Trump, you have poked the bear, and we will punch back.”

As Governor Newsom and other Democratic leaders held their rally inside the Japanese American National Museum, Border Patrol agents made a show of force outside the venue. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said she did not believe the Border Patrol’s presence was a coincidence; she called the agency’s actions provocative and disrespectful.
