Arnold Schwarzenegger is urging Californians to reject Proposition 50, a Democratic-backed ballot initiative to redraw congressional districts. Schwarzenegger argues the proposition, which aims to gain five Democratic seats, undermines democratic principles by allowing politicians to manipulate district boundaries for partisan advantage. He contends this move is a response to similar actions by Republicans in Texas, stating "two wrongs don't make a right." While he hasn't directly criticized Governor Newsom, Schwarzenegger, a former Republican governor, is actively campaigning against the proposal, leveraging his celebrity and influence to oppose what he calls gerrymandering.
