The California Senate on Thursday approved a redrawn political map aimed at giving Democrats five more seats in the U.S. Congress, countering the partisan advantage President Donald Trump hopes to gain from a Republican redistricting plan in Texas.

The Orange County lawmaker, who also condoned Texas’s gerrymandering effort, urged lawmakers to support legislation introduced by Rep. Kevin Kiley, of Northern California, to ban mid-decade redistricting in every state, saying that would be more constructive than California Democrats’ current efforts.

California Republicans pressed Democrats over the transparency and cost of the proposed redistricting measure.
