California Democrats advanced a state redistricting plan on Thursday.

The plan would add five safe or Democrat-leaning districts. It was passed after Republicans in Texas voted to adopt a map that would add five Republican seats.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has publicly supported the plan. Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) has also said her state would look at redrawing its map in response to Texas's move.

"The state Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a challenge from California Republicans who filed a lawsuit earlier this week requesting an emergency injunction to stop the redistricting effort on the grounds that the legislature didn’t give voters enough notice," CNN reported.
