U.S. Supreme Court Ends Redistricting Bid by Virginia Democrats

HeadlineMay 18, 2026

The Supreme Court on Friday turned down an effort by Virginia Democrats to implement a new congressional map which would have allowed Democrats to gain up to four additional seats in the House. The decision, with no dissents, leaves in place a ruling by the Virginia Supreme Court striking down the map. The push to redraw congressional maps began last year when President Trump pressured Republican-led states to come up with new district maps ahead of the midterms.
