Inside the Democratic Battle Plan for Redistricting

CNN: “Jeffries and his allies have designed plans for the next two years to push Democratic-held states to set aside nonpartisan redistricting rules or gerrymander even more aggressively, with an eye toward producing a dozen or more new Democratic-held seats by November 2028, people familiar with the matter said. They’re eying seats from Oregon to New York in an effort that will cost hundreds of millions of dollars more in the next two years.”

“And they’re willing to put an uncomfortable spotlight on members of their own party to do it.”

Said Jeffries: “The days of Democrats unilaterally disarming are over, particularly given how high the stakes are.”

“Behind the scenes, the House minority leader’s allies are preparing a messaging push against any Democrats who stand in the way of gerrymandering, insisting that only ‘real Democrats’ are willing to fight.”
