The Redistricting Game

A Virginia judge allowed the state’s Democrats to pursue a redistricting plan on Wednesday that would permit them to amend the state’s constitution and redraw its congressional districts before next year’s midterm elections – despite a lawsuit from Virginia Republicans. Those Democrats are following a national trend, kicked off by President Trump. Back in August, Trump called on Texas to redraw its congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms in order to minimize Republican losses in the House. And after Texas redrew its maps, California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom responded by putting forward a plan to redistrict his state through a ballot measure, Proposition 50, that would redraw California’s congressional districts and push five Republicans out of their seats. Californians will be voting on the proposition on Election Day next week. To explain the fight and how the 2026 Midterms became a battle royale, I spoke with John Bisognano. He’s the President of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.

And in headlines, Congress continues to prove pointless as funding for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are set to expire for millions of Americans, the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates again, and immigration officials deport a man living in Alabama to Laos despite literally being ordered not to.
