California Overwhelmingly Approves Prop. 50, Democrats Celebrate

from Political Breakdown · host KQED

California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 50, a redistricting measure that could give Democrats as many as five new House seats next year. In Santa Clara County, early returns show Measure A leading with 57% of the vote. The sales tax increase to fund county hospitals amidst federal Medicaid cuts appeared headed for victory. Marisa, Scott and Guy break down the results from election night and what these victories mean for Democrats heading into 2026. They also discuss the night's other big wins for Democrats in New Jersey, Virginia and New York City. Check out Political Breakdown’s weekly newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox.
