Nolte: Hakeem Jeffries Concedes Defeat, Moves Gerrymander Battle to 2028
Breitbart ^ | May 13, 2026 | John Nolte

Posted on 05/13/2026 1:08:41 PM PDT by Red Badger

Sounds like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has conceded defeat in the 2026 redistricting battle, but like George Costanza and the Jerk Store, he’s already plotting his revenge in 2028.

If you take a deep breath, you can smell the failure laced with no small amount of humiliation…

“In advance of 2028, where we will have additional states that will come online, including but not limited to New York, New Jersey, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, and Maryland,” says Jeffries. “That’s at least seven states. We will be able to unleash a decisive and forceful response to what they are doing in the Deep South.”

He adds, “And I’m telling you right now we will, as several of those governors have already publicly indicated and as the Senate president in New Jersey just said earlier today.”

Beneath Hakeem’s feet is an $80 million pile of ash, which is what Democrats spent to lose their redistricting battle in Virginia.

So, let’s go through Hakeem’s list… The first number is the number of Democrat to Republican seats. Then we’ll compare the percentage of Democrat seats to the percentage of the vote President Trump received in each state:

Wait until the left blames him for losing the whole rigging scheme, Frankenstein’s monster will be after him.

If something makes Hakeem unhappy it is a good thing.

“...Beneath Hakeem’s feet is an $80 million pile of ash,”

Hopefully, that would be the ashes of the democrat party.

You know, this country has been putting up with a stolen 2020 and the subsequent four years, the astroturfed 'summer of love'and similar 'protests',several attempted and one successful assassination, Virgina...if this something they follow through with this...

Do they actually want a civil war? The EU and CCP would love it.

Between now and then, let’s recount the census with only citizens determining each state’s representation in Congress... and make sure that’s codified.

” “In advance of 2028, where we will have additional states that will come online, including but not limited to New York, New Jersey, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, and Maryland,”

The they have to apportion again after the 2030 census.

It’s not going to work out for them.

They’re already gerrymandered to the hilt. Unless they plan to expand into neighboring red states, I don’t see this working out like he thinks.

Now they can move on to what they do best....rigging elections and vote fraud.
