House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., made a controversial remark about Democrats' efforts to secure more House seats after Virginia voters passed a constitutional amendment on redistricting, seen as a win for Democrats. The Republican National Committee responded by condemning political violence and asking Jeffries to apologize for his use of this type of rhetoric. This comment was not the first time Jeffries used such a phrase in a redistricting context. The outcome of various states' partisan redistricting efforts is not yet settled.
