Virginia, Indiana join national fight over Trump's redistricting campaign

Democratic leaders convened a special session of the Virginia legislature on Monday to consider redrawing congressional electoral maps in their party's favor, while Indiana's Republican governor summoned lawmakers to weigh a similar plan next week at the behest of President Donald Trump.

Virginia and Indiana were poised to become the latest battlegrounds in a mid-decade redistricting war, instigated by Trump, that could play a pivotal role in the outcome of next year's congressional elections.
