Virginia voted on Tuesday to redraw its congressional map, giving Democrats a strong advantage. The US president's statement echoed his false allegations over the 2020 election. He has also pushed Republican states to redraw maps in an effort to support the Republican Party.

The president called on Virginians to vote against the redistricting referendum that, if accepted, would lead to the redrawing of the state’s congressional maps.

Virginia voters approved a new map Tuesday that would likely give Democrats four more seats in the House.
