Analysis Summary
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told Politico that Democrats are eyeing redistricting in at least four states—New York, Illinois, Maryland, and Colorado—ahead of 2028, in response to a Supreme Court ruling Wednesday that weakened key Voting Rights Act protections against racial gerrymandering. The Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais struck down a majority-Black congressional district, opening the door for GOP-controlled states to pursue aggressive redistricting. Democrats had already won redistricting battles in Virginia and California, but the Supreme Court ruling emboldened Republican efforts, particularly in Florida where lawmakers just approved maps expected to give Republicans four additional House seats.
