Jason Rantz: Trump ‘Didn’t Start’ Battle of Redistricting

‘I think it leads to just out of control power grabs and can ruin communities’

EXCERPT:

RANTZ: "Yeah. And look, this just creates a domino effect. I think ultimately what this creates is red states and blue states, and we‘re getting rid of purple states. And I don‘t like that as a general rule for democracy. I think it leads to just out of control power grabs and can ruin communities. I think that‘s true when you‘ve got one-party rule anywhere. So I‘m not a big fan of this. But as I‘ve pointed out before, this current battle was started in Texas. Trump did not start this battle, though, of redistricting in general. There‘s been no conversation specifically about Illinois, about Maryland, which have been redrawn to unrecognizable maps. It is unnatural, and there‘s going to be a push."
