California Gov. Gavin Newsom explained in detail how by fighting against Trump's election interference in demanding Texas come up with "five house seats" for him.
Newsom flipped the script on Demented Donald, who did not expect Democrats to respond accordingly.
Newsom is fighting against Trump like nobody else in the country.
CNN's Jake Tapper said he was highly doubtful that Newsom's redistricting plans would be successful after it got off to a rocky start.
TAPPER: let me confide something in you, okay? When you came out and you announced Prop 50, to say nothing of the merits of it, I'm generally, I like independent commissions, okay?
But beyond my own personal views, when you came out with this, I thought, wow, that's a big swing. I don't know what's gonna happen politically, just as a political move.
The polls were against you, Schwarzenegger was against you, good governor groups were against you, and ultimately, I didn't know it was gonna be.
NEWSOM: I mean, the first poll was 38%, just to underscore that.
And again, because I, like many, agree with you, support independent redistricting.
But you can't do it state by state with one arm tied behind your back.
You can't unilaterally disarm, as other people are not playing by the rules. Donald Trump and Republican governors across the country, governors not just in Texas, but you're seeing what happened in Missouri, you see what happened in North Carolina, obviously what's gonna happen in Indiana, likely, and then Florida.
They're not screwing around, they're consolidating power, and we were sitting there, and I think Donald Trump did not expect what Californians did. He thought we would just try to win an argument by writing an op-ed.
Maybe express disdain and concern about the country. I don't expect that.
Well, that is the Democratic Party of old.
Yeah, of old, and I think that's the bottom line. And I think this moment, what happened on Tuesday, represents a new moment.
Clarity, conviction, purpose, energy, on our toes, not on our heels, a resurgent Democratic Party, and it's a party that understands what's at stake for our democracy as we go into the 250th anniversary of our founding fathers.
And I think that kind of momentum and direction is, I think, really gonna enliven people in the next year.
Tuesday's election proved the American people are behind the Democratic Party and against Trump's criminality.
