GOP Redistricting Regrets
from The Weekend Hosted by Jackie Alemany, Jonathan Capehart, Eugene Daniels, Maria Teresa Kumar, Kurt Bardella, Keisha Lance Bottoms
April, 25 2026, 8 AM; They will consider a new congressional map that could net Republicans three to five seats in this year's midterm elections. This comes after voters in Virginia narrowly approved a new congressional map that will allow Democrats to pick up as many as four new seats. President Donald Trump started this fight last year after successfully pushing red states Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina to redraw their congressional maps to create more Republican- friendly seats. Republicans were ecstatic about those rigged maps until the Democrats fought back, secured wins, and put MAGA's hypocrisy in the spotlight. Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin joins The Weekend to discuss the latest on the redistricting war between both parties.
