The Supreme Court cleared the way for California to use its newly redrawn congressional map, which shifts five seats in Democrats’ favor, in the 2026 midterm elections. The high court's decision to decline to take up an emergency appeal from California Republicans comes after voters in the state approved a ballot measure called Proposition 50, which allowed the state to enact the Democrat-friendly map in time for the midterms. The justices' decision included no dissents or explanation. theblaze.com
