Arnold Schwarzenegger gives a shady opinion on the ongoing gerrymandering battle that's happening within the U.S. Congress amid Donald Trump's presidency

The former California governor says Trump's plan to rig Texas redistricting maps for Republicans doesn't justify his Democratic successor Gavin Newsom gerrymandering blue seats in retaliation.

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has mobilized to fight Gavin Newsom's redistricting push as Democrats aim to counter Trump's Texas congressional map changes.

While delivering remarks to a crowd, Newsom tore into President Donald Trump, who has backed Texas Republicans, calling him a “failed president” and the “most unpopular” in modern history. He pledged to “meet fire with fire,” and pointed to how Trump tried to “light democracy on fire” on Jan. 6, and is now ”once again trying to rig the system."

Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, R-Calif., has joined the GOP-led effort to fight Gov. Gavin Newsom's, D-Calif., plan to redraw the state's congressional maps to add more Democratic-leaning seats.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has waded into the Texas redistricting row after Democrats fled the state to block Donald Trump’s effort to redraw the state’s political map.

California law makes gerrymandering more difficult than Texas, complicating the governor’s plans to fight the Lone Star state’s power grab

To disregard California’s practice of independently crafting political maps to avoid partisan tilt, Newsom’s plan hinges on the compliance of lawmakers in the state Legislature, which is dominated by members of his own party. And so far, it doesn’t look likely that the governor will meet significant resistance.
