Hakeem Jeffries Advocates for New York Redistricting Following Supreme Court Decision

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced a push for redistricting in New York after a Supreme Court ruling that may enable more partisan gerrymandering.
Rep. Joe Morelle will meet with New York state lawmakers to discuss potential redistricting options, but any new map would require voter approval and could take effect no earlier than 2028.
Jeffries emphasized the need for Democrats to respond to Republican-led redistricting efforts in other states, asserting that they will not allow a 'MAGA majority' to emerge from unfair maps.
