California Governor Gavin Newsom has gone on the offensive against Trump, trolling him on social media and pushing back against the GOP's gerrymandering efforts. But is that enough to get Democrats back in power?

Gavin Newsom formally kicked off his push Thursday to redraw California’s congressional maps in response to a Republican-led effort in Texas, setting up the next stage of his fight against both the Trump administration and a coalition of gerrymandering opponents within the state.

The actor-turned-governor helped overhaul how California draws political maps. In an interview with The New York Times, he said he would fight to preserve that legacy.

As Texas hurtles toward a flashpoint on a GOP effort to redraw congressional districts, California Democrats are answering with a plan of their own.

The state’s voters would need to approve redrawing of congressional maps in a special election Nov. 4.

The measure, which would appear on the ballot in the state in November if lawmakers approve it, is a response to Texas Republicans' mid-decade redistricting push.

New betting odds show the California governor's chances of beating the New York representative are increasing.
