Democrats Go Full WWE: Gerrymander Smackdown 2026
In the ultimate Capitol cage match, Democrats are ready to "fight fire with fire" as Republicans Ike Texas try to redraw maps for power grabs. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is "clearly upset and frustrated," warning 'one cannot unilaterally disarm.' California, New York, and more blue states are prepping their own gerrymandering slapdowns. Rep. Marc Veasey sums up the mood: 'That train has left the station.' It's politics now with a side of chess and a dash of ‘bring your muddy gloves.’ Forget civility, it's a redistricting rumble royale.

Democrats decided fair play is for toddlers. If Texas GOP gerrymanders, California’s grabbing the crayons too. It’s like a kindergarten art fight but with entire congressional districts on the line. Spoiler: nobody’s sharing the shiny scissors.
If gerrymandering were football, Democrats just announced they're going full blitz—no uniforms, just mud and zero remorse. Hakeem said 'one cannot unilaterally disarm,' which basically means 'let the tantrum games begin.'
Texas Republicans redrawing maps? Blue states hit back like 'Hold my kombucha.' It’s political Mortal Kombat out here: last side standing gets control of your next pizza topping.
