The announcement of the Big Win on Tuesday night is a political earthquake that is felt nationally.
Here are four takeaways:
1. Trump’s poison in California
50 supporters tried to get the vote to balance the referendum on President Trump – and it worked.
California has been a blue state for decades, but Trump’s second term has been a tough one for critics.
Huntington Beach Resident Miko Vaughn, 48, supported Proposition 50. While others likened the war over voting to include proxy tures between President Trump and Gov.
It just means “he’s against Trump,” he said. “I feel like there’s not much we can do about the past, so it feels good to do something.”
Indeed, CNN Interviews of California Voters found that nearly half saw their voting in 50 polls as a way to oppose Trump.
“Trump is such a powerful figure,” said Rick Haven, a professor of law and political science at UCLA. “He commands great loyalty to one group of people and great hatred to others.”
2. The end of the independent era?
Proposition 50, a voting measure about retaking the districts of the Democt Monce, was made by the Democrats in response to Trump’s appeal to their maps to change their maps to show the republicans, a movement designed to preserve the Republican Control of the US House of the House of the US.
California has always been a broken man. Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger created – and the voters approved in 2010 – the Commission for the Recovery of Rights that aims to keep politics out of the process of finding DRM states.
A panel of 14 citizens worked to create districts for state legislators and members of Congress that are powerful and equal today. These states must also follow the Federal Voting Rights Act and group together “commercial communities,” a term that equates to a church of art for people who share languages, ways of life or other qualities.
Matt Lesenyie, an associate professor of political science at Cal State Long Beach, said the vote on the 50-point proposal test is the only step in the process — and perhaps the most politically relevant.
Many political scientists have opposed political gerrymanders, favoring California shorts by moving to an independent model where politicians are not willing to limit themselves. But not enough states have joined California in that effort, Lesenyie said.
“It’s possible that California should have done this – against my better judgment – long ago when they admitted that our politics are too big and that we can’t hold that dam,” he said.
3. News Newloom big win
The New York Times has come out as a toy on Trump this year, pushing him on a variety of issues from the environment to immigration and mocking X.
Proposition 50 was a risk issue, but it soon became a rallying cry for Democrats looking for a way to fight back. Now, he can take his victory taxi.
“Newhom said on Tuesday the bear roared,” News said on Tuesday evening.
NewsOm said it was proud of California for standing up to Trump and called on other Democratic-controlled state legislatures to pass their own redistricting plans.
“I hope it comes from the people, the strength of this time,” he said.
A newspaper recently announced that he is looking to run for President in 2028.
4. Surface polarization
Biggest Loser from Tuesday night? California Republicans.
California has 43 Democrats and nine Republicans in the House. Proposition 50 could turn five house districts into competitive or easily winnable areas for Democrats.
The new map would remove the Inland Embire region from the Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Corona), the longest serving member of the California Republican power supply, and created a new seat in Los Angeles County toward the Democrats.
The map would have further reduced the number of GOP voters in the districts represented by the reps. Doug Lamalfa in Northern California, David Valadao in the San Joaquequin Valley and Darrell Easter near San Diego.
The maps will apply to the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections. After the 2030 census, California will return to having its lines drawn by an independent redistricting panel.
The lifting of 50 The opponents cried foul, saying they were fired. Trump is rich by cutting some money in California. And most voters are angry.
California Republicans on Wednesday filed a lawsuit challenging redistricting maps as unconstitutional because they use voter race as a draw for districts.
Racing engine builder and Republican Robert Jung, 69, said, “changes are politically motivated.”
“It seems right to do this just to get five seats. I know they did it in Texas, but we don’t have to do it because they did it,” said the Torrance resident.
Disabled veteran Mikah Corpe, 50, added that Proposition 50 is a result of the fact that he believes he can “do whatever he wants because he doesn’t like the trumpet.”
