Former Vice President Harris rallied with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Saturday in support of redistricting<\/a> in the Golden State.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, listen, I wanted to just come by to, in particular, thank everyone here, all the folks who have been canvassing, knocking on doors, talking with your friends, talking with your neighbors, talking with your cousins, talking with your play cousins, talking with all the folks about the power of the people, because that\u2019s what this is about,\u201d Harris said at the rally backing Proposition 50.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is about reminding folks that we refuse to kneel at the foot of a tyrant,\u201d she said about the redistricting push. \u201cThat\u2019s not what we do.\u201d <\/p>\n

Golden State voters on Tuesday will vote on whether the state will change up<\/a> its congressional districts in a battle between Republicans and Democrats throughout the nation that could help determine the next House majority.<\/p>\n

Selecting \u201cyes\u201d on Proposition 50<\/a> would let the redrawn congressional district maps become official in 2026, prior to new maps being drawn for the 2030 census, according to the California secretary of state. Choosing \u201cno\u201d would seek to keep maps unchanged until the census five years from now.<\/p>\n

The measure appears likely to pass. <\/p>\n

Harris\u2019 Saturday appearance comes as high-profile Democrats are seeking to turn out<\/a> voters for Tuesday\u2019s elections. <\/p>\n

On Saturday, former President Obama took to the campaign trail<\/a> in support of Democratic gubernatorial candidates Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherill in Virginia and New Jersey, respectively. <\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day, this White House offers up a fresh batch of lawlessness and recklessness and mean-spiritedness and just plain craziness,\u201d Obama said Saturday.<\/p>\n

The former president also previously backed<\/a> California\u2019s redistricting push, warning that Republicans want to steal seats to \u201crig\u201d next year\u2019s midterm elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harris echoed this sentiment Saturday. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis fight is not about sitting by and complaining, \u2018Oh, they\u2019re cheating,\u2019\u201d Harris said at the California rally. \u201cIt\u2019s about recognizing what they are up to.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n
