Justice Department sues to block California's new House map in clash that could tip control of Congress

The recent lawsuit by the Justice Department to block California's new House map highlights the ongoing political tensions between state and federal authorities. Governor Gavin Newsom, who is actively promoting California's climate initiatives abroad, faces criticism from the Republican administration regarding various state policies, including high gas prices. This legal confrontation could reshape congressional dynamics, especially as Newsom positions himself for a potential presidential run in 2028, reflecting broader themes of governance and political strategy in the current landscape.
