Democrats cheered a redistricting measure that reportedly passed in Virginia on Tuesday.
The passage gives the Democrat-controlled state legislature the ability to redraw the commonwealth's congressional map ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Except there are already questions about whether this will stand, as we reported.
On Wednesday afternoon, Tazewell Circuit Court Judge Jack Hurley Jr. ruled that Tuesday's referendum is unconstitutional and issued an injunction preventing the certification of the election maps. Judge Hurley has also denied any motion to stay his ruling pending appeal.
That decision will likely be appealed.
Democrats like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) were celebrating the passage of the Virginia referendum. But he definitely sounded concerned about the next redistricting battleground - Florida. Jeffries told the Republicans they should "F around and find out," claiming a "DeSantis 'dummymander'" would backfire on Republicans.

But it doesn't sound like he put off Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) with that lame effort. Indeed, DeSantis invited him to Florida for the battle because it would be the best thing he could do for Republicans.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Gov. Ron DeSantis just BODIED Hakeem Jeffries threatening Florida if we re-draw our 2026 maps
"'Oh, we're gonna go after Florida.' PLEASE. BE MY GUEST. I will PAY you to come campaign! I'll put you up in the Florida governor's mansion! We'll take you fishing.… pic.twitter.com/uAN8gVXVHR

Although it was mighty kind of the Governor to invite "Dollar Store Obama" (DeSantis' words not mine) for a paid vacation in sunny Florida.
Make him eat ‘gator...
Mighty white of him...
/s
Tastes better than chicken.
Speaking from experience.
Use the bugger for shark bait.
I had some once, in Fla.
It was fine.
Ron DeSantis needs to be the GOP nominee for President in 2028.
He’s proven that he has the best executive experience of any of the potential nominees who’ll run.
Plus, he has that unique quality for gigging his opponents, while being humorous at the same time.
Take Hakeem fishing? For bait?
‘Mic Drop’ must be the new ‘BOOM.’
Didn’t they just reopen Alligator Alcatraz? Should be a few cells open.
That line of patter sure reminds me of this ...
The toughest ‘gator was better than the tenderest chicken.
lots of gators in Florida..
If lightman doesn’t eat ‘em all.

I agree! Vance has been a bit of a disappointment. Rubio has actually been a pleasant surprise, but when it comes to executive experience and getting tough things done, DeSantis easily outshines the other two.
😂
Nice try.He has a super majority in Florida. He could pass a law making him Jesus without issue.
BFD
Charisma of a Pet Rock.😂
