California Governor Gavin Newsom recently expressed concern about the possibility of the U.S. not holding a presidential election in 2028, alleging that efforts by former President Donald Trump to influence redistricting in Republican-led states could undermine the democratic process.

This proposal, known as the Election Rigging Response Act, has sparked controversy, with opponents arguing it constitutes gerrymandering itself, while supporters claim it is a necessary measure to protect voters. The proposal faces opposition from various groups, including former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and the California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Following President Trump’s suggestive comments about a potential 2028 run, Representative Andy Ogles introduced a resolution to amend the Constitution, enabling Trump to seek a third term.
