欧巴马支持卡利夫(Calif)投票让立法机关重新划定国会选区, Obama backs Calif. vote to let legislature redraw congressional districts, citing GOP gerrymandering fears.

前总统奥巴马发布了30秒的电视广告,敦促加利福尼亚选民支持第50号提案, 这项措施将使州立法机构能够绕过独立的区划委员会和重新划定的国会边界。 Former President Barack Obama has released a 30-second TV ad urging California voters to support Proposition 50, a measure that would allow the state legislature to bypass the independent redistricting commission and redraw congressional boundaries. 这一倡议得到总督Gavin Newsom的支持,旨在对抗得克萨斯州共和党重新划分选区的努力,民主党认为这给GOP不公平的优势。 The initiative, backed by Governor Gavin Newsom, aims to counter Republican redistricting efforts in Texas that Democrats argue give the GOP an unfair advantage. 奥巴马警告说,共和党人试图“夺取足够的席位”,以影响未来的选举,把投票说成是捍卫民主公平。 Obama warned that Republicans seek to "steal enough seats" to influence future elections, framing the vote as a defense of democratic fairness. 如果通过,这项措施可以将加利福尼亚州国会代表团转向更多民主党席位,在2026年中期选举之前改变美国众议院的权力平衡。 If passed, the measure could shift California’s congressional delegation toward more Democratic seats, altering the balance of power in the U.S. House ahead of the 2026 midterms. 此次投票定于2025年11月4日举行。 The vote is scheduled for November 4, 2025.
