Virginia voters will determine the fate of a new House map that could significantly influence the political landscape for the upcoming midterm elections.
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.
