House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said on Feb. 15 that Democrats will do “whatever it takes” to make Virginia’s redistricting plan successful in a bid to counter Republican moves in other states.

Last month, a state judge blocked Democrats’ attempt to redraw Virginia’s congressional map. The Virginia Supreme Court later allowed the plan to proceed to an April voter referendum after an appeal.
