Donald Trump kicked off this redistricting war a year ago. It was all him in an attempt to fortify

a Republican majority in Congress to kind of insulate it from the voters. And then Democrats responded

by asking voters in California and Virginia to bring things back to par, basically literally

just returned to an even playing field so that neither party had an advantage. And now, of course,

because Republicans cannot tolerate an even playing field so that neither party had an advantage. And now, of course, because

Ron DeSantis's standpoint, what he is doing is saying, okay, Donald Trump, you want us to gerrymander,

you want us to be extreme, you want us to disenfranchise minority voters. We can do it all like that.

And by the way, Chris, it's in direct violation, direct violation of a state constitutional

provision that bans partisan gerrymandering. I mean, it was put in the Constitution by the
