'Democracy in US is on life support...,' California Democrat Mike Gipson warns, praises redistricting push

During a meeting of the California State Assembly on Thursday, Democratic State Representative Mike Gipson discussed the push by Democrats to redistrict in response to gerrymandering issues in Texas. The California legislature on Thursday approved a redistricting package aimed at giving Democrats five more seats in the U.S. Congress, countering a partisan advantage President Donald Trump hoped to gain from a similar Republican plan to redraw political maps in Texas.
