Obama Backs Newsom's California Redistricting Plan

Former President Barack Obama is backing California Governor Gavin Newsom's plan to redraw voting district lines.

This is seen as a way for Democrats to respond to how Republicans are drawing the lines in Texas.

Obama believes this is important to keep elections fair.

The California plan could give Democrats more seats in Congress.

Voters will vote on the plan in November.

Democrats are fighting to keep control of Congress by using the redistricting plan.
