Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson are urging Virginia voters to defeat a redistricting ballot measure they describe as a partisan power grab by Governor Abigail Spanberger. The referendum could potentially flip four House seats to Democrats.

Outlets across the spectrum highlight Speaker Mike Johnson’s active role in campaigning against the Virginia redistricting referendum, framing it as a critical battle for House control. Fox News emphasizes Johnson’s alignment with Donald Trump to stop what they call a "partisan power grab," while center-left outlets like KESQ focus on his use of a potential Hakeem Jeffries speakership as a motivational tool. Following the measure's success, Roll Call and other centrist sources shift focus to the "major blow" dealt to Johnson’s leadership and the resulting internal party pressure.
