Virginia Republicans are pointing fingers in every direction after their new Democratic enemy, Gov. Abigail Spanberger, handed them a major loss on Tuesday night.
After two rounds of voting in the Virginia statehouse, voters approved new, temporary congressional maps for the commonwealth, giving Democrats an expected 10-1 edge in House seats for the next two federal elections.
The measure came after President Donald Trump instructed Texas Republicans last year to further gerrymander the state to create more GOP-leaning House seats—a move that has set off a nationwide redistricting battle.
