Louisiana, Virginia Take Steps Toward Redistricting

Redistricting tensions rise as both Republicans and Democrats push for mid-decade changes, aiming to gain an edge in next year's congressional elections. Louisiana Republicans delay their primary, while Virginia Democrats seek to bypass their bipartisan commission. Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina have already revised their maps, and California Democrats try to counter with a new one. The political stakes are high, with just a few seats needed for Democrats to flip the House. The Supreme Court's decision on Louisiana's map and Virginia's constitutional amendment are closely watched, while other states weigh similar moves or hold back for now.
