Rep. Rich McCormick introduces bill to return part of Virginia to D.C.

  • Rep. Rich McCormick's 'Make DC Square Again Act' aims to restore D.C.'s original boundaries by returning Arlington and Alexandria from Virginia, potentially reshaping political dynamics.
  • The bill responds to Virginia's recent Democratic-backed redistricting, which strengthens the party's grip on congressional representation.
  • Critics, including Rep. Donald Beyer, argue the measure undermines local representation and could be seen as an attempt at voter suppression.
