Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) was not happy a Democratic redistricting initiative passed in Virginia.

“We all lose at this point,” Fetterman said Tuesday night while on NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” per The Hill.

“I mean, I think everyone loses for that,” Fetterman said when he was told Democrats were projected to win approval of a gerrymandered congressional map in Tuesday’s election.

Fetterman pointed out the Democratic push to redraw congressional boundaries in Virginia to pick up more House seats in the midterm elections was in response to a GOP effort to redraw district lines in Texas.

He said the tit for tat strategy isn’t good for the country.

“I understand this was all that started after Texas decided to kind of do the same thing. I mean, I get the logic to do the things, but overall, we all lose at this point,” he said, adding two wrongs don’t make a right.

“The wrong thing doesn’t make it the right thing, but that’s where we are. And if we continue to just attack the other side, whether it’s a red state or whether it’s a blue state, our democracy is degraded,” he said.

Watch:

The Virginia Redistricting initiative passed narrowly by a vote of 51% to 49%.

It will allow Democrats to rework the state’s congressional boundaries that will allow their party to potentially control 10 of the 11 seats in the House delegation.

Democrats currently hold a six-seat-to-five-seat advantage in the delegation.

The new map would stay in place until after the 2030 census.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.), on the other hand, was happy with the results.

“Last July, Donald Trumpdemanded that Texas draw five new Republican seats in the middle of a decade, igniting a chain reaction of corrupt MAGA state legislators attempting to rig the midterm elections. While many expected Democrats to roll over and play dead, we did the opposite,” Jeffries said in a statement.
