Virginia voters on Tuesday approved a new congressional map that could boost Democrats’ representation in the US House by as many as four seats, reshaping the political landscape ahead of November’s midterm elections. The move, seen as a direct response to President Donald Trump’s push for mid-decade redistricting, intensifies the national battle over gerrymandering and raises the stakes in an already razor-thin fight for control of Congress.
