随着重划选区斗争达到白热化，民主党表示，唐纳德·特朗普总统“挑起了这场争端”，并为民主党在2026年中期选举前的应对措施辩护。
马萨诸塞州联邦众议员吉姆·麦戈文（民主党）表示：“唐纳德·特朗普打响了这场战斗的第一枪，如果有人以为民主党会坐视不管，那他们就错了。我们会反击。”
加州联邦众议员皮特·阿圭拉（民主党）补充道：“民主党本不想走到这一步。”
周二晚间，弗吉尼亚州选民以微弱优势通过了由民主党州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格支持的国会选区重划公投，为民主党赢得了一场胜利，也扭转了美国众议院席位争夺的态势。

此次弗吉尼亚州公投是在特朗普推动共和党控制的州进行重划选区之后举行的，该公投或可为民主党额外拿下4个众议院席位。
“一切都始于唐纳德·特朗普呼吁阿博特州长进行不同寻常的中期重划选区，”加州联邦众议员马克·塔卡诺（民主党）表示。
阿圭拉称，特朗普在德州的推动可能引发了全国范围内的选区划分争端，但“民主党和美国人民将会终结这场争斗”。
“共和党在印第安纳州、堪萨斯州以及其他所有地方都在推进重划选区的讨论，这令人极度沮丧，”阿圭拉说，“共和党挑起了这场争斗，但民主党和美国人民将会终结它。”
宾夕法尼亚州联邦众议员玛德琳·迪恩（民主党）将这一举措称为“总统的夺权行为”。

“特朗普先生在德州说他理应拿到5个席位，这就是不透明的重划选区行动的导火索，”迪恩说，“这不过是总统的夺权行为。”
佐治亚州联邦众议员汉克·约翰逊（民主党）表示，效仿特朗普的州正在“执行总统的命令”，并升级了这场斗争。
“我认为特朗普开启了一条我们正在滑下去的滑坡路，”约翰逊说，“民主党必须应对那些听命于唐纳德·特朗普的同谋共和党人的越界行为。”
民主党将他们的应对措施辩解为一种战略性的“应对手段”。
“民主党所做的不过是进行防御，”塔卡诺说，“我们不会乖乖屈服，任由事态发展。”
一些民主党人表示，他们别无选择，只能加入操纵选区划分的行动。两党都希望通过这一策略赢得众议院席位。
“没人应该干预民主进程，但特朗普才是发起这一切的人，”密歇根州联邦众议员施里·塔内达尔（民主党）说。

约翰逊表示，他认为操纵选区划分不止关乎政治，还可能影响选民的代表权。
“党派操纵选区划分不过是幌子，真正的目的是基于种族的重划选区，意图通过排除黑人选民选举自己选择的代表——包括黑人和拉丁裔选民——来‘让美国再次伟大’，”他说。
一位民主党人士表示，重划选区行动可能很快就会结束。
“我认为我们可能已经看到了选举前任何可行的重划选区行动的终结，”加州联邦众议员朱迪·朱（民主党）说。

不过，塔卡诺表示民主党不会退缩。
“你不能带着刀去参加枪战，然后说‘嘿，共和党人可以在任期中随意更改选区，而我们却不能做出回应’，”他说。

As redistricting battles are reaching a boiling point, Democrats said President Donald Trump “started this” while defending their own party’s response ahead of the 2026 midterms.
“Donald Trump started this battle, and if people thought Democrats were going to sit on their hands while this happened, that was not the case,” Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said. “We’re going to fight back.”
“Democrats did not want this,” Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., added.
On Tuesday night, Virginia voters narrowly passed a congressional redistricting referendum backed by Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger, securing a victory for Democrats and shifting momentum in the race for the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Virginia referendum, which comes after Trump’s push for redistricting in Republican-controlled states, could give Democrats four more House seats.
“It all starts with Donald Trump asking Gov. Abbott to do an unusual mid-decade redistricting,” Rep. Mark Takano, D-Calif., said.
Aguilar said that President Trump’s push in Texas may have sparked the nationwide map fights, but “Democrats and the American people are going to end it.”
“Republicans engaged in redistricting discussions in Indiana and in Kansas and in all these other places. It’s incredibly frustrating,” Aguilar said. “Republicans started this fight, but Democrats and the American people are going to end it.”
Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pa., called the move “a grab by the president.”

“Mr. Trump said in Texas he was owed five seats, and that’s what triggered redistricting with no transparency,” Dean said. “Just a grab by the president.”
Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said states following Trump’s lead are “doing the bidding” of the president and escalating the fight.
“I think that Trump started a slippery slope that we’re sliding down,” Johnson said. “Democrats have to match the overreach of complicit Republicans doing the bidding of Donald Trump.”
Democrats justified their response as a strategic “play.”
“What Democrats have done is just play defense,” Takano said. “We’re not going to roll over and just allow this to happen.”
Some Democrats said they had no choice but to join the gerrymandering efforts. Both parties hope to win the House using this strategy.
“No one should be interfering with the democratic process, but Mr. Trump was the one who initiated it,” Shri Thanedar, D-Mich., said.

Johnson said he believes gerrymandering goes beyond politics and could also impact voter representation.
“Partisan gerrymandering is a fig leaf for what’s really happening, which is the racialized redistricting meant to make America great again by excluding Black folks from being able to elect the representatives of their choice, Black and brown people,” he said.
One democrat suggested redistricting could wind down soon.
“I think we may have seen the end of any viable redistricting right now before the election,” Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif., said.

However, Takano said Democrats would not back down.
“You can’t bring a knife to a gunfight and say, ‘Hey, Republicans can just change districts mid-decade without a response,’” he said.
