California Gov. Gavin Newsom said on Monday that the state would not back down from its redistricting fight and pledged to “fight fire with fire” if Texas tried to redraw its congressional district maps.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday he plans to put new district lines in front of voters in a special election on Nov. 4, but only if Texas moves forward with its redistricting plans.

"The governor's basically saying that he thinks what another state is doing is wrong, and therefore we should do it too," said Rep. Kevin Kiley.
