Gryming is not good for democracy in general, but Democrats are in a situation where they may assume the practice to be able to regain power to save democracy.
While the new California congress map goes to voters in November, attention turns to Illinois. The State is confronted with a possible invasion of federal law enforcement under the pretext of immigration -raids, And also the potential need to re -sign his congress card because of Trump’s attempt to sign the 2026 elections.
Regering JB Pritzker werd gevraagd op het gezicht van CBS, de natie als hij de congreskaart in Illinois zou herschikken, en hij antwoordde: “Dat is niet iets dat ik wil doen. Het is niet iets dat iemand van ons wil doen. Maar ik moet zeggen of Donald Trump zijn wil op het Amerikaanse Will gaat door zijn maga -banden in verschillende staten en ze hebben RECADE in het midden van het midden Census. Met een jaar eindigend in één, geen jaar eindigend in five.
The governor was asked: “What could you do much more, as an Illinois -Democrat? Your card will already get an F for most good government groups because you are Gerrymandered. Would you wipe out all the Republican districts?”
Government Pritzker said: “Yes. It is possible to have more democratic districts in the state of Illinois and we could do it. As I said, it’s not something I want to do.”
The tone of JB Pritzker was correct. No democratic governor should want to redistribute in the middle of a decade. In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom clearly that the redistribution of his state is being put forward as a reaction to what Trump and his allies have done in Texas.
No Democrat should hurry joy to re -draw the congress cards in their state, but Trump is desperate to hold the Republican house -majority, because without it becoming a lame duck whose influence immediately decreases.
A democratic takeover of the house would make Trump the only thing he fears. Trump would not be relevant. National attention would focus on the 2028 elections, and Trump’s presidency would be left to die from the vine with two years to go.
If the mood in California is successful, Democrats have already reduced the number of seats that Republicans could win by getting GerryMeering to 6-8.
It is the right step for Prizker to wait and see what Trump has other red states before he undertakes to draw the cards again.
Restoring the cards is not something that Democrats want to do, but they might have to do it to save democracy.
