California Prop 50 Gains Support

With two weeks until election day, California's Proposition 50 is drawing significant attention as campaign spending intensifies and voter turnout surpasses expectations. Polls indicate strong support for the measure, which is leading ahead of the upcoming election. Meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom, amidst rising political discourse, distances himself from presidential ambitions, focusing instead on rallying Democrats for future electoral map battles. In a related political development, federal judges in Texas have blocked the use of a new congressional map for the 2026 midterms, a decision celebrated by Texas Democrats but opposed by Republicans, highlighting ongoing redistricting tensions across states.
