 Obama backs Virginia Democrats’ redistricting plan ahead of voter decision

Former President Barack Obama is backing a Democratic initiative in Virginia to redraw congressional districts, a move that has become a focal point in the broader national debate over redistricting ahead of this year’s midterm elections. The announcement came Thursday, a day after the state Supreme Court cleared the way for the redistricting question to appear on the April 21 ballot, with early voting starting Friday.

In a video message to Virginians, Obama urged support for the referendum, framing it as a way to protect voters’ influence from actions taken by Republicans in other states. He emphasized that the measure is temporary, noting that after the 2030 census, Virginia will return to a bipartisan redistricting process. The Democratic-backed map, released in February, aims to give the party four additional seats, but it will only take effect if approved by voters and upheld by the courts. Legal challenges continue, leaving the outcome uncertain, with Democrats presenting it as a counter to Republican efforts to maintain a congressional majority, while Republicans argue it favors liberal northern Virginia. Obama has made redistricting a key issue, supporting similar measures in California and raising funds for related Democratic initiatives nationwide.
