Democrats celebrate Virginia redistricting win, but more battles await
Democrats are celebrating an election win in Virginia that could put them slightly ahead in the national redistricting competition that President Donald Trump triggered in an attempt to preserve his party’s House majority in this year’s midterms.
But Tuesday's vote won’t be the final round.
The new Virginia maps face a court challenge and could be tossed.
Meanwhile, Florida Republicans are poised to begin a special session on redistricting and could give the GOP more seats in the state.
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule in a case that could lead to more Republican seats by eliminating districts drawn to elect minorities.
