President Trump announced on August 25, 2025 that the Department of Justice will sue California over Gov. Gavin Newsom's redistricting plan. This market resolves to YES if the DOJ files a lawsuit challenging California's redistricting plan in any federal court before October
The lawsuit must specifically target California's redistricting plan that was signed by Gov. Newsom on August 21, 2025, which aims to create five more Democratic-leaning congressional districts. The lawsuit must be filed by the Department of Justice, not private parties.
Resolution criteria: News reports from major outlets (CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, AP, Reuters) confirming the filing of such a lawsuit, or official DOJ press releases or court records showing the case has been filed.
