Democrats win Virginia redistricting battle

A major victory for Democrats in Virginia has shifted the national battle for control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Voters approved a mid-decade redistricting plan that could allow the party to flip up to four Republican-held seats in the upcoming midterm elections.

President Trump has reacted by labeling the election results as rigged, while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries hailed the outcome as a triumph for fair representation.

The development marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing gerrymandering wars between the two major parties.
