Other blue states are threatening to follow California’s lead, though, New York being one of them. If New York alone follows suit, that’d be an additional -7R, +7D. But even without New York, similar threats from Illinois and Maryland would also tip the scales (-4R, +4D combined)
It would have to be New York or some equivalent. An additional shift of +/-7 would flip the house 215R to 216D, but that’s also assuming Texas and California successfuly eliminate all opposition.

We may not like it, but the fact is, there are more red states than blue states. This is a competition that Blue states won’t win.
The red states are much more gerrymandered than the blue states. They have less room.
