Partisan Mud Fight, or Focus on the Midterms? Redistricting Divides Democrats.
Governor Spanberger in this NYT interview says continuing to focus on redistricting threatens to depress turnout in Virginia with the failed efforts here rather than focusing on the present and the ability to pick up seats with the current maps... that looking in the past takes away from the fact Dems are still in the fight to win seats still in Virginia and we need to move forward and focus on supporting Dem candidates in these races. She says it's a divisive message that doesn't focus on affordability and on Trump and his failures, messages more pertinent to the current day to a broader spectrum of Americans.
She isn't against redistricting for 2028 but doesn't believe Democrats should be running on that now and should instead focus on the kitchen table issues affecting people today. Meanwhile Hakeem Jeffries has taken an approach of publicly wanting to fight fire with fire and a more muscular approach to the redistricting issue. Which approach do you all think is the correct one for Dems?
