I think Orange county is fucked either way. So I'd split Cali off north of Marin county (the county North of SF) and give it a healthy chunk of the center, Fresno, Sacramento, Bakersfield. Call it Jackson or something (I think there was a plan for that? or was Jackson for the proposed Oregon split off to Idaho?) Then let South Cali have the Arizona border and access to South Nevada.
Seeing the population shift between the two over even just 3 years would be amazing. The Libs would never surrender Tahoe, so it kinda fucks up the plan.
My condolences to anyone still living in CA, Kamala would be even worse than Gavin Newsom.
Harris likely will not get past the beginning of the 2028 Dem presidential primaries.
CA governor is the only thing Harris could actually win.
May God have mercy on California.
CA needs a state divorce. An actual state divorce, not that bullshit they tried where San Francisco, LA, and Sacramento each got their own state.

Jefferson is the proposed northern state of parts of California and parts of Oregon.
The Oregon people just want to join Idaho, not form another state. The politics would be more upset by a new state than a swap of low-pop counties.
you're thinking of the State of Jefferson
Jefferson was the proposed state comprised of the California counties north of the Bay Area and most of Oregon outside of Portland.
