SACRAMENTO, Calif.— The U.S. Supreme Court on Feb. 4 allowed California to use its newly redrawn congressional map that aims to give Democrats five extra seats in the upcoming midterm elections, rejecting a Republican challenge that argued the changes constituted unlawful racial gerrymandering.
The decision in Tangipa v. Newsom came in an unsigned order with no dissents. The court did not explain its ruling, but the action leaves in place a map authorized by voters in November 2025 through Proposition 50.
