Substack post says Democrats 'win redistricting battle' nationwide

politicsApr 22, 202677

An online post declares Democrats "won the redistricting battle nationwide" and vows "maximum warfare" going forward. The post points to last year's mid-decade push by President Donald Trump, WHO urged Texas Republicans to redraw congressional maps to try to oust as many as five Democratic House lawmakers. Texas voters rejected the off-cycle maps, while California lawmakers and Virginia placed maps before voters under regular procedures; Virginia's referendum is being described as a setback for Trump. The outcome leaves control of competitive House seats hinging on ongoing court rulings and upcoming voter referendums before the next elections.
