Republicans divided over role for Newsom in redistricting fight

Newsom or not? California GOP split on centering him in redistricting campaign

Political signs and campaign posters cover a wall inside a hotel hallway during a California GOP gathering. A red sign reading “NO on Prop 50” with a map of California is prominent in the foreground. Other signs for governor candidates and ballot measures are also visible. In the background, people are mingling in the carpeted hallway.

Gov. Gavin Newsom wants the campaign for Proposition 50 to be a battle between him and President Donald Trump. Republicans say they need to win over voters another way.
