Virginia Democrats won a narrow victory that could turn into a black eye for the party.
In a clip posted to the social media platform X, former Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine reported that leading Democrats in the Old Dominion believe their redistricting plan, approved by voters last month, will not survive in court.
“What I was told is they now think it’s less than 50 percent that the court will let the certification go through,” Turrentine said in a clip posted to the social media platform X.
“The time, they don’t believe, is on their side,” he added moments later. “And what apparently transpired over the weekend — and this person would know; they’re in contact with the people I’m about to say — is that the governor’s staff is now snipping at the Senate majority leader and House Speaker that they warned them last fall this would not pass legal review.”
