Jeffries' job grows more difficult in race for House and speaker's gavel
WASHINGTON (AP) House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries had warned Republicans they would come to regret the congressional redistricting fight, and when Democrats counterpunched last month with a redrawn Virginia map, he had made his point.
The net tally of seats gained and lost was essentially a wash.
F around and find out, said Jeffries after the election victory.
But in a matter of days, the race for control of the House and the speakers gavel was dramatically reset by back-to-back court rulings that wiped out the Democratic gains in Virginia and now threaten to erode Black representation by Democrats in the Deep South.
