Democrats are looking to employ a “fight-fire-with-fire” approach to President Donald Trump’s aggressive push to redraw Texas’ House districts in ways that would benefit Republican candidates in next year’s midterm elections, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries confirmed Sunday.
The party is reportedly examining the viability of similar redistricting efforts in California and New York, as well as a number of other Democratic-led states, including New Jersey, Minnesota and Washington.
When asked about the redistricting plans in an interview on CNN’s Inside Politics Sunday morning, Jeffries confirmed Democrats were looking into the idea — but argued it was not the same thing as what Republicans were up to in Texas.
