Even After Virginia, Democrats Aren’t Out of This Redistricting Fight
About this episode
Sam Stein and Sarah Longwell discuss the implications of the Virginia Supreme Court's decision on redistricting and its impact on the 2026 elections.
Sam Stein and Sarah Longwell break down the shocking Virginia Supreme Court decision overturning the state’s new redistricting maps and what it means for the battle for control of the House in 2026. Democrats believed Virginia was their biggest answer to Republican-led mid-cycle gerrymandering in states like Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. Sam and Sarah explain why the decision is such a major setback for Democrats, how Republicans are redrawing districts across the South, and whether Democrats can still overcome a growing GOP structural advantage.
