Part 4/14:
On the Democratic side, Governor Gavin Newsom of California has signaled an aggressive approach to redistricting, suggesting that all options remain under consideration. During an appearance on CBS's Face the Nation, Newsom acknowledged the potential to redraw Maryland's congressional districts—famously known for being heavily gerrymandered—to increase Democrat seats.
Newsom's comments sparked speculation that the Maryland redistricting push might be part of an effort to maximize Democrat representation, potentially capturing the lone Republican-held district currently under Representative Andy Harris.
