Common Cause, a nonpartisan group critical of partisan gerrymandering, will not oppose California‘s redistricting push, describing it as a “counterbalance measure” to President Donald Trump‘s public call for Texas and other red states to redraw maps to secure additional House seats before the midterm elections.

The change of heart follows a pop-up fundraising appeal on the group’s website last week that slammed Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) for “attempting to copy the GOP’s playbook to boost his profile.” A July 24 newsletter from the group also called the actions of Texas and Newsom “wrong” and said “all of it is anti-democratic.”
