With Virginia vote, Democrats gain edge over Trump's national GOP redistricting push
Virginia voters approved a constitutional amendment to redraw congressional maps, potentially giving Democrats an edge in the House. The move counters President Trump's national GOP redistricting effort, which aims to favor Republicans.
Virginia voters narrowly approved a Democratic-backed constitutional amendment to redraw congressional voting maps, potentially shifting the state's U.S. House delegation from 6-4 Democrats to 10-1. The move counters President Trump's national GOP redistricting effort. Trump's push has led to Republican-led states redrawing maps to favor their party, with Texas potentially gaining five seats. However, Democrats have countered with gains in California and Virginia. The changes could give Democrats an edge in 10 seats nationwide. The outcome of the midterm elections will ultimately depend on voter turnout and party performance.
