Virginia Seeks More Representation, Stakes Raised in Redistricting Battle with Trump Allies
Virginia's Democratic-controlled legislature is moving forward with a proposed redistricting plan that could shift the state's congressional map in favor of left-leaning districts, fueling a contentious battle with Republican opponents led by former President Donald Trump.
Virginia's state lawmakers, under Democratic control, are pushing to pass a new congressional map that could add up to four more left-leaning US House districts, taking on President Trump's redistricting efforts in the competitive state. The move aims to shift the balance of power and favor Democratic candidates. This development marks another front in the ongoing battle over redistricting in the 2024 elections. The outcome will have significant implications for the party's chances in the November elections.
