With the crucial midterm elections approaching, Democrats in Virginia are strategically focusing on redistricting to strengthen their influence.
The Virginia state Senate has taken a significant step by passing a constitutional amendment aimed at redrawing the state’s congressional districts. This decision sets the stage for presenting the proposed changes to the voters, as reported by Fox News on Saturday.
Should the ballot initiative receive approval this spring, the responsibility for redrawing the state’s congressional maps would shift from the current non-partisan commission to the legislature, impacting the district boundaries until 2030.
Currently, Republicans hold a narrow majority in the House, with Democrats needing just three additional seats to regain control. On Monday’s episode of “Alex Marlow Show,” Alex Marlow, the host and Breitbart’s Editor-in-Chief, emphasized, “The overarching goal this year is ensuring Republicans secure the midterm elections. That’s the primary focus.”
Reacting to Virginia’s developments, Republican National Committee press secretary Kiersten Pels commented, “This move is yet another instance of Democrats’ long-standing efforts to gerrymander in states where they gain power. It’s a key reason why red states are actively working to counterbalance the effects of states like Illinois, New York, and California, which have historically redrawn districts to marginalize Republican voters.”
In response to the news about Virginia, Republican National Committee press secretary Kiersten Pels said, “This is just the most recent example of Democrats’ multi-decade campaign to gerrymander in every state where they gain power. This is exactly why red states are fighting back to level the playing field after years of states like Illinois, New York, and California drawing their districts to disenfranchise Republicans.”
Meanwhile, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) ranted about the U.S. Supreme Court refusing to block her state’s updated congressional redistricting maps, a plan expected to favor Republicans, according to Breitbart News.
“The Supreme Court’s decision leaves Texas’s new map intact for the 2026 elections — a map that not only strengthens Republican control but also pushes Crockett out of her current district,” the report stated.
In August, President Donald Trump said he may recommend holding a Republican National Convention before the midterms.
“The Republican Party is doing really well. Millions of people have joined us in our quest to MAKE AMERICA, GREAT AGAIN. We won every aspect of the Presidential Election and, based on the great success we are having, are poised to WIN BIG IN THE MIDTERMS. We have raised far more money than the Democrats, and are having a great time fixing all of the Country Destroying mistakes made by the Biden Administration, and watching the USA heal and prosper,” he wrote in a post on Truth Social.
“The results are incredible, a record pace!!! In that light, I am thinking of recommending a National Convention to the Republican Party, just prior to the Midterms. It has never been done before. STAY TUNED!!! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” he concluded.
