Trump Makes 11th Hour Push To Stop Virginia From Gerrymandering Districts

President Donald Trump made a last minute push on Monday to intervene in Virginia’s redistricting battle, urging voters to reject the ballot measure.

Virginia voters are set to head to the polls Tuesday on a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow the state to redraw its congressional map ahead of the next census cycle. During a tele-rally with House Speaker Mike Johnson, Trump addressed supporters in Virginia and framed the upcoming referendum as a decisive national moment.

“Virginia has the chance to save our Republican majority in the House so that we can continue saving this great country of ours,” Johnson said before Trump spoke.

“Tomorrow, your Commonwealth has an incredible and really an important election in every sense of the word that will have major consequences for our entire country this November,” Trump said. “This is really a country election. The whole country is watching. So important and so unfair what they’ve done. We need every Virginia patriot to get out and vote no, no, no on the radical Democrats’ unfair ballot referendum. It is so crazy what they’re doing. So go to your polling place tomorrow and vote.”

Trump called on voters to reject what he described as Democrats’ unfair ballot referendum.

“Do not let the radical left Democrats rig this map and rig this election because they’ve done it. And that’s what, frankly, it’s the only thing they’re good at is rigging elections. They have no policy. How do you get elected with men in women’s sports and open borders for everybody?” Trump asked. “Transgender, mutualization of your children. It’s the only thing they’re good at is rigging elections. And we can’t let this happen in Virginia. We’re going to get your taxes back down.”

Trump said the referendum is a partisan effort designed to reshape Virginia’s political map to favor Democrats.
