サウスカロライナ州の上院議員らは火曜日、同州で唯一の民主党議席を標的にするようドナルド・トランプ大統領が強く求めていた選挙区再編案を阻止した。これは数週間にわたる議論の末、ホワイトハウスからの圧力にもかかわらず下された決定である。
州上院は、この地図案を前進させるための手続き上の動議を24対20で否決した。可決に必要な26票に届かず、12人の共和党議員が全ての民主党議員と共に反対に回った。6月9日の予備選挙に向けた期日前投票は既に始まっており、この拙速なプロセスに反対する人々は、その点を重要な理由として挙げていた。
X上での反応は、上院による拒否をトランプ氏への打撃として歓迎する声が多く、共和党上院議員たちが圧力に屈せずクライバーン氏の議席を守ったことを称賛する投稿が目立つ。さらなる抵抗を期待する声や法廷闘争を求める声がある一方で、クライバーン氏本人に対しては複雑な意見も見られる。
Good!!!!

In a blow to President Donald Trump's demands for all GOP-controlled states to redraw their congressional maps to give themselves extra seats, a majority of the South Carolina Senate effectively voted to pull the plug on redistricting for now, with a handful of… pic.twitter.com/SYhi25VCT0
South Carolina Senate kills redistricting before midterms, bucking Trump https://t.co/PZvR4kU8JT It's a rare breed of Republican that has the intestinal fortitude to stand up to Krasnov and his MAGGOT Republicans. A rare breed indeed.

South Carolina Republican lawmakers failed Tuesday to secure the votes needed to extend the legislative session and redraw congressional maps, stalling efforts pushed by President Donald Trump to eliminate the state's only Democratic-held House district.

Voters in Indiana’s May 5, 2026, Republican primaries ousted a majority of state Senate incumbents who had opposed President Donald Trump’s push for a rare mid-decade congressional redistricting plan, according to early results reported by The Associated Press. Trump had endorsed challengers in most of those races after the plan failed in the legislature late last year.
Final results confirm Virginia voters' narrow 51-49% approval of the redistricting amendment on April 21, solidifying a Democratic-favoring congressional map expected to deliver 10 of 11 seats through 2030. Building on early projections, the outcome suspends the bipartisan commission amid national midcycle battles, with Republicans vowing court challenges.

The Supreme Court of Virginia ruled Friday that a voter-approved redistricting plan violated state constitutional procedures. The 4-3 decision nullifies the April referendum and keeps the state's existing congressional maps in place. Democrats had sought the change to gain a stronger edge ahead of the 2026 midterms.
A recent poll indicates narrow support for a mid-decade redistricting amendment in Virginia, with likely voters backing it 52-47%. The measure aims to redraw congressional maps from a 6-5 Democratic edge to 10-1 in their favor, potentially affecting House control during President Donald Trump's term. Early voting ends April 18, with the ballot decision on April 21.
