Maryland Democratic Governor Keeping Options Open When It Comes To Redistricting
HuffPost
Gov. Wes Moore compared Trump's gerrymandering push to when he tried to overturn the 2020 election.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) said “all options are on the table” when it comes to redistricting and fighting back at Texas gerrymandering of its congressional map to give Republicans an advantage in the 2026 midterm elections.
“This is what people hate about politics in the first place,” Moore said on Sunday’s episode of “Face the Nation.” “The fact that the president of the United States, very similar to what he did in Georgia, where he called up a series of voter registrants and said I need you to find me more votes — we’re watching the same thing now, where he’s calling up legislators around the country and saying I need you to find me more congressional districts.”
Last month, President Donald Trump said he told Texas Republicans to redraw the state’s congressional map to help the GOP keep its U.S. House majority after the midterm elections, seemingly to prevent what happened midway through his first term when Democrats flipped the House. Weeks after Texas Democrats left the state to break quorum, they returned and the Texas Legislature passed the new map.
On Thursday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) fought back at Trump’s plan by signing a call for a special election in November, at which point the state’s voters could decide whether to approve a new congressional map in California that would likely give Democrats five new seats in Congress.
Moore said on “Face the Nation” that there shouldn’t be situations where politicians are choosing their voters instead of voters choosing their elected officials.
