The measure sets aside political lines drawn by an independent citizens commission and enacts a map that could help Democrats flip up to five seats currently held by Republicans — and protect a handful of incumbent Democrats from competitive challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure’s passage was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12063016/how-prop-50s-win-reshapes-californias-2026-elections\">a political win for Newsom and Democrats\u003c/a> in the midst of a nationwide fight over political maps.

The DOJ argues that it is not necessary to draw districts where a majority of voters are Latino because white California voters often prefer candidates of various races and ethnicities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Recent elections show that Hispanics have not struggled to elect politicians of their choice in California,” the complaint said. “That is because results in California are largely driven by party-bloc voting, not race-bloc voting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/blog/how-would-the-prop-50-redistricting-plan-affect-racial-and-geographic-representation/\">analysis\u003c/a> by the Public Policy Institute of California found that the Proposition 50 map has the same number of majority-Latino districts (16) as the maps enacted by the independent commission in 2021, which have been used in the last two congressional elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the lawsuit quotes supporters of Proposition 50 touting the Latino-majority districts, Newsom and Democratic leaders in the state Legislature argued throughout the campaign that the purpose of the maps was explicitly partisan: to help Democrats retake the House. That could help the state thwart a challenge under the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These losers lost at the ballot box and soon they will also lose in court,” said Brandon Richards, a spokesman for Newsom, in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The passage of Proposition 50 has scrambled the electoral playing field ahead of California’s June primary. Sonoma State University professor David McCuan said the measure could face more legal challenges from Republicans facing political headwinds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You could see half a dozen to a dozen [lawsuits]. … challenging both the process of how Prop. 50 got to the ballot and the constitutional legal questions related to Proposition 50 itself,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

He shouldn’t have run again,” Page said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2022, the speaker’s family paid the price of rising political violence when David DePape broke into the Pelosi home in San Francisco and attacked her husband, Paul, with a hammer, fracturing his skull. DePape said he was looking for Nancy Pelosi, who was out of town at the time, and wanted to “break her kneecaps.” DePape was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987892/paul-pelosis-attacker-apologizes-at-resentencing-but-prison-term-is-unchanged\">sentenced to 30 years\u003c/a> in federal prison and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12002363/callousness-of-paul-pelosi-attack-justifies-potential-life-sentence-judge-says\">life in state prison\u003c/a> without the possibility of parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, Pelosi made history as the first woman and the first Californian to become Speaker of the House.
