Republicans face backlash and internal divisions after Virginia redistricting referendum loss

Virginia voters approved a redistricting referendum that redraws congressional maps, significantly reducing Republican seats in the state. The result has sparked internal GOP recriminations over a mid-cycle redistricting strategy pushed by Trump that began in Texas and triggered counter-moves by Democrats in California and Virginia. Republicans now face the possibility that the strategy could be a net wash or even benefit Democrats heading into the midterms.
