Virginia voters approved a redistricting plan Tuesday that could give Democrats up to four additional House seats in the 2026 midterms, making it the second blue state to counter Trump's 2025 redistricting push in Republican-controlled states. The map will face legal challenges from Republicans before being finalized, but early projections suggest Democrats have now offset or exceeded Republicans' mid-decade gains. This is part of an escalating redistricting arms race — Republicans gained seven seats through Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina maps, while Democrats have now picked up ten through California, Utah, and Virginia combined.
