#Virginia lawmakers are expected to assemble on Monday to start a process that could redraw the state’s congressional districts for the 2026 #midterm #election.
Virginia is the latest state to plunge into the fight over control of #Congress, where #Republicans hold a tightrope-slim majority & launched a surprise effort this summer to shore up their control by pushing Republican-led states to redraw congressional districts ahead of schedule.
The effort began in #Texas at the behest of #Trump & has touched off months of maneuvering in several states. #Missouri & #NorthCarolina have passed new maps to favor #Republicans. Leaders in #California, vowed a #redistricting push of their own to counter the moves in Republican states.
#Virginia, where #Democrats control the legislature, appears poised to join the fray in an attempt to swing as many as 3 of the state’s 11 congressional seats from Republicans to Democrats.
