It’s been less than six months since California voters approved a new congressional map that could enable Democrats to flip as many as five House seats now held by Republicans.

Now, Virginia is following the same playbook, voting to approve new congressional lines that could net Democrats three to five more House seats this fall.

Currently, Democrats hold six of the state’s 11 seats. The updated map could allow the party to control up to 10.

“Donald Trump and Republicans launched this gerrymandering war. And we’ve made clear as Democrats that we’re going to finish it,” said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., during a celebratory press conference Wednesday morning. “​​We will not let Donald Trump rig the midterm elections by gerrymandering maps all across the country without a forceful Democratic response.”

Last year, President Donald Trump directed the Texas legislature to redraw its congressional maps mid-decade to shift as many as five seats held by Democrats in the Lone Star State to the Republican column. The move was an effort to help his party maintain its slim majority in the House.

But states led by Democrats fired back — starting with California, and now with Virginia posing the question to the voters rather than the state legislatures taking the reins. Both ballot initiatives made use of these maps temporarily until 2030.

“I’m glad that it wasn’t the legislature that did it, that we gave it to the voters to decide,” explained Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va. “I’m also glad this is temporary. And I think it’s going to be up to us Democrats who want to win in these areas to show that we can adequately represent people in what are often red areas.”

With the addition of these new Democrat-leaning seats in Virginia, the party is estimated to pick up between seven and ten seats, with as many as five from the Golden State, up to four in the Commonwealth, and an additional seat in Utah.

Republicans, meanwhile, could net up to five seats in Texas, a seat in Missouri, and a potential seat or two in Ohio and North Carolina. While new maps in Florida and Louisiana could add more Republican-leaning seats, the party stands to gain anywhere from four to nine seats — less than the Democratic projection.

Republican leadership seemed frustrated Wednesday with the results of the Virginia referendum.

“It’s a blatant abuse of power to disenfranchise millions of Virginia voters. And hopefully, the Supreme Court of the state will not allow that to happen,” said House Majority Leader Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La.

But other members of the conference pointed the finger at leadership for allowing it to happen.

“Party leaders need to get off their butts and do something. They need to quit complaining and start motivating,” said Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., suggesting Republicans have work to do on their ground game. “We’re not educating our voters; we’re not registering people to vote. You know we hang out with the country club, with the Chamber of Commerce crowd, and we get our hats handed to us.”

But while House Speaker Mike Johnson slammed the redistricting vote in Virginia as a “hyper-partisan gerrymandering boondoggle,” he and his fellow Republicans failed to point out it was President Trump who started this political arms race.

“Wah, wah, wah,” mocked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of Republicans’ outrage. “Democrats have attempted and asked Republicans for ten years to ban partisan gerrymandering, and for ten years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America, and these are the rules that they have set.”

The Supreme Court has already declined to take up legal challenges to both the California and Texas congressional maps, finding them to be political gerrymanders rather than racial gerrymanders, but legal challenges against Virginia’s maps persist.

The Virginia Supreme Court is expected to hear oral arguments on the legality of the new voter-approved maps next week.
