BREAKING: Virginia Dems just responded to SCOTUS letting Texas Republicans use their new gerrymandered map, by unveiling a new Virginia map that takes away FOUR Republicans seats.
Virginia Democrats moved swiftly on Thursday, unveiling a newly drawn congressional map that would effectively eliminate four Republican-held seats—an unmistakable response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision allowing Texas Republicans to proceed with their heavily disputed gerrymandered map.
The proposed Virginia map, crafted by Democratic lawmakers and released just hours after the SCOTUS ruling, dramatically reshapes district boundaries across the state.
Early analyses suggest the new configuration consolidates Democratic strongholds while dispersing Republican voters across multiple districts, significantly reducing GOP chances of holding their current seats.
Party leaders framed the move as both a strategic and defensive measure.
“If the Supreme Court is going to permit extreme partisan gerrymandering in Texas, we will not sit back and pretend the rules are different for us,” said one senior Democratic legislator.
“Virginia will not allow unilateral disarmament.”
Republicans immediately blasted the proposal as a “brazen power grab,” vowing to challenge the map in court and warning that the move could trigger a new nationwide wave of retaliatory redistricting.
The Virginia proposal will now move through public hearings and legislative review, though Democrats—who currently hold majorities—appear poised to advance it quickly.
If adopted, the new map could reshape the state’s political balance for the next decade and intensify the growing national battle over voting rights and redistricting power.
