Democrats secured a significant victory in the battle for control of the House of Representatives with a victory in a Virginia referendum that could allow them to gain four Republican-held seats in crucial midterms. The newly drawn district lines could allow Democrats to win 10 out of the state's 11 congressional seats, up from the current 6-5 split. The win puts Democrats in a close competition with President Trump and his Republican allies in a nationwide gerrymandering war. The Virginia results were underwhelming compared to a landslide win in a similar referendum in California. Florida's governor, Gov. Ron DeSantis, is reportedly considering rejiggering its maps to grab anywhere from two to five Democratic-held districts, but Republicans fear this could backfire on them as Democrats have been outperforming expectations in polls and special elections.
