Virginia held a virtual rally urging a yes vote on its redistricting referendum, and Spanberger backed the measure. Left-leaning outlets present the yes campaign as a check on Trump and Republican election tactics. Center outlets describe both parties’ efforts and competing claims about rural representation and control of the House. Right-leaning outlets stress claims that the map would favor Democrats and criticism of Spanberger, including from within her party.
