[US Democrats Plan to Invest Tens of Millions of Dollars in Redistricting Virginia] On the 15th local time, House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries stated that the Democratic Party is willing to spend tens of millions of dollars on redistricting in Virginia, a move that could potentially win the party four seats in the US House of Representatives. Jeffries said the Democrats will "do whatever it takes" to ensure a voting initiative in the state passes in the April referendum. Currently, the Democrats are pushing for redistricting in Virginia and Maryland in hopes of winning more seats in Congress. The Republicans, who currently hold only a narrow majority in the House, have already passed redistricting plans in Texas, Missouri, Ohio, and North Carolina. (CCTV)
