House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., on Monday promised a "massive Democratic redistricting counteroffensive" and said House Democrats would huddle Thursday on the ongoing partisan gerrymandering wars ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Jeffries, in a letter to the House Democratic caucus, called the meeting after a series of blows to the party in the last two weeks on the redistricting front. On Friday, the Virginia Supreme Court struck down a referendum that would have allowed new congressional maps in the state that could have netted Democrats as many as four additional seats.
