Arnold Schwarzenegger enters fight on US House control, urges vote against new California districts

Arnold Schwarzenegger is entering the national battle over U.S. House control. The former Republican California governor and action-movie star is urging the state's voters to reject a November ballot proposal to rejigger districts that he said would erode democratic principles. Schwarzenegger said Monday that the Democratic-backed Proposition 50 is “insane.” The proposal championed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom would temporarily set aside districts crafted by an independent commission and replace them with y reshaped districts designed to benefit the party’s candidates in the fight for House control. The move is similar to a GOP-led effort in Texas pushed by President Donald Trump.
