Virginia Dems Just Won a Major Battle in Trump’s Redistricting War

Virginia voters approved a new congressional map on Tuesday, marking a significant win for Democrats in what the article calls "Trump’s Redistricting War." This new map could net Democrats up to four new seats, showing how Democrats have fought President Trump to a surprising draw in the redistricting battles. This development makes it more likely that Republicans will lose the House in November, especially with President Trump’s tanking approval numbers. Democrats in Virginia had to retake control of the legislature and governorship last November and then convince voters to pass a constitutional amendment authorizing partisan gerrymandering. However, the Virginia Supreme Court has yet to issue a final decision on the constitutionality of the redistricting effort, and Florida plans a special session next week to redraw its map.
