Braun—who Trump relegated to the kids’ table during his star-studded inauguration—has yet to make a decision on the matter, but his counterpart in Texas, Greg Abbott, is all in on the plan, with a special redistricting session planned for this week that could net the GOP five more House seats.

Arnold Schwarzenegger gives a shady opinion on the ongoing gerrymandering battle that's happening within the U.S. Congress amid Donald Trump's presidency

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is pumping up for a new fight. The longtime Hollywood action star, the last Republican governor in Democrat-dominated California, says he’s mobilizing to oppose the push by current Gov. Gavin Newsom to temporarily scrap the state’s nonpartisan redistricting commission.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has waded into the Texas redistricting row after Democrats fled the state to block Donald Trump’s effort to redraw the state’s political map.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, who served as California's governor from 2003-2011, said he is "monitoring" the unfolding Republican-led redistricting efforts in Texas.

While delivering remarks to a crowd, Newsom tore into President Donald Trump, who has backed Texas Republicans, calling him a “failed president” and the “most unpopular” in modern history. He pledged to “meet fire with fire,” and pointed to how Trump tried to “light democracy on fire” on Jan. 6, and is now ”once again trying to rig the system."

And so far, it doesn’t look likely that the governor will meet significant resistance.
