LOS ANGELES — The California legislature on Thursday approved a redistricting package aimed at giving Democrats five more seats in the U.S. Congress, countering a partisan advantage President Donald Trump hoped to gain from a similar Republican plan to redraw political maps in Texas.

California Democrats pushed the three bills through the state Senate and Assembly in a remarkable flurry of fast-track action, ahead of a Friday deadline set for getting the newly drawn districts on the ballot in time for a special election on November 4.

Swift passage of the measures marked a decisive victory for Governor Gavin Newsom, who has led the charge in pushing back against what he and fellow Democrats nationally have decried as Trump’s attempt at a power grab in the Republican-led state of Texas.
