Trump makes last-minute pitch against Virginia redistricting ballot measure in telerally call

The Republican tele-rally comes as over 1,160,000 voters have already cast ballots on a constitutional amendment that could reshape Virginia’s congressional map.

  • Virginia voters head to the polls today to decide on a constitutional amendment temporarily allowing lawmakers to redraw congressional districts before the next census.
  • President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson campaigned against the measure during Monday evening's telerally, urging voters to cast a 'no' ballot.
  • House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries urged voters to support the referendum, arguing the 'yes' vote ensures a 'fair national congressional map' and provides a check on the Trump administration.
  • More than 1,160,000 voters cast early ballots ahead of today's election, while polling showed 52 percent support versus 47 percent opposition.
  • Approval could expand the state's Democratic delegation from a 6-5 majority to a 10-1 advantage, countering Republican redistricting efforts in Texas, North Carolina, and Missouri.
