"Frustrations inside the White House are boiling over after Democrats seemingly secured a major redistricting win in Virginia, with former Gov. Glenn Youngkin taking heat from President Donald Trump's administration."
"If Youngkin hadn't left the special session open, [Virginia State Senator] Louise Lucas would never have had the chance to ram through those maps. So he has some responsibility for losing these seats."
"A Virginia judge blocked certification of the congressional map referendum, ruling the measure unconstitutional. Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones said the state will appeal."
"The RNC, which backed the lawsuit, called the redistricting effort a blatant power grab, despite Democrats only managing to squeak out a narrow 3-point victory."
