前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯在弗吉尼亚州最高法院驳回一项经选民批准的重划选区公投后，指责唐纳德·特朗普总统和共和党试图“操纵2026年选举”，她称这一裁决将为这一企图“推波助澜”。
“今天，弗吉尼亚州最高法院无视民众意愿，推翻了这些经民主程序选定的选区地图，”哈里斯5月8日在X平台上写道。
“这一裁决助长了唐纳德·特朗普操纵2026年选举的企图，以及共和党长期以来攻击投票权的阴谋，”她补充道。
这一裁决是共和党在2026年中期选举前取得的重大胜利，也加剧了美国国内围绕重划选区和国会控制权的日益激烈的斗争。
弗吉尼亚州最高法院就新国会选区地图作出裁决
“我们认为，推动该提案所采用的立法程序违反了弗吉尼亚州宪法第十二条第一款，”该州最高法院在裁决中表示。“这一宪法瑕疵无可挽回地影响了随后的公投结果，使其丧失法律效力。”
这项议案以51%对49%的微弱优势通过，本可将重划选区的权力从弗吉尼亚州的无党派委员会暂时移交给民主党控制的州议会，直至2030年，预计这将让民主党在该州国会代表团中占据10比1的优势。
特朗普在Truth Social平台上的帖子中称赞了这一裁决，称其“是共和党和美国在弗吉尼亚州的巨大胜利”。
“正义”：“杰里曼德”议案被推翻后，庆祝与嘲讽声此起彼伏
“弗吉尼亚州最高法院刚刚否决了民主党糟糕的杰里曼德选区划分方案，”他写道。
民主党人尖锐批评了这一裁决。民主党全国委员会主席肯·马丁表示：“弗吉尼亚州最高法院的一群非选举产生的法官选择将党派政治置于民众意愿之上。”
弗吉尼亚州总检察长杰伊·琼斯也表示反对，称该裁决“压制了数百万参与投票的弗吉尼亚州民众的声音”，并表示其办公室正在评估“所有可行的法律途径”。

哈里斯在她的帖子中呼应了这一观点，写道：“我们理应感到愤怒，但我们不会放弃。我们必须继续为恢复民众的权力而斗争。”
这番表态之际，哈里斯近期在多个场合加强了对特朗普的攻击，同时也面临着关于其政治未来的新质疑。
在拉斯维加斯最近的一场活动中，哈里斯表示：“对我国太多人来说，美国梦并不真实。事实上，对许多人而言，这不过是他们口中的美国神话。”

她也没有淡化特朗普的威胁，称：“我不会把他当成白痴就一笔带过。他很危险。”
与此同时，民主党高层不愿就哈里斯是否应在2028年领导民主党给出明确表态。
“我不知道，”南卡罗来纳州民主党众议员吉姆·克莱伯恩在被问及哈里斯的未来时告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“我不知道谁会参选，我们会在2026年中期选举结束后再关注2028年的情况，”纽约州民主党众议员丹·戈德曼说道。
康涅狄格州民主党众议员约翰·拉尔森表示，最终决定权在哈里斯手中，但他补充说，他认为民主党应该举行“一场完全开放的民主党初选”。
弗吉尼亚州的这一裁决是更广泛的重划选区斗争中的最新导火索，两党都在为2026年中期选举提前布局。
就哈里斯而言，她暗示自己打算继续积极参与政治活动。
“我坚定且强烈地相信，当你感觉自己无力时，你就是无力的；当你感觉自己强大时，你就是强大的。我们很强大，非常强大。所以就让我们在中期选举期间，以及每一天，向彼此展现我们的力量吧。”

Former Vice President Kamala Harris accused President Donald Trump and Republicans of trying to “rig the 2026 elections” after the Virginia Supreme Court invalidated a voter-approved redistricting referendum, a ruling she said would “give a boost” to that effort.
“Today, the Virginia Supreme Court ignored the will of the people and overturned those democratically chosen maps,” Harris wrote on X on May 8.
“This ruling gives a boost to Donald Trump’s effort to rig the 2026 elections and the Republicans’ long game to attack voting rights,” she added.
The ruling marked a significant victory for Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms and escalated an already intensifying national battle over redistricting and control of Congress.

“We hold that the legislative process employed to advance this proposal violated Article XII, Section 1 of the Constitution of Virginia,” the state’s high court said in its decision. “This constitutional violation incurably taints the resulting referendum vote and nullifies its legal efficacy.”
The measure, which passed by a narrow 51% to 49% margin, would have temporarily shifted redistricting authority from Virginia’s nonpartisan commission to the Democrat-controlled legislature through 2030 and was expected to yield a 10-1 Democratic advantage in the state’s congressional delegation.
Trump praised the decision in a post on Truth Social, calling it a “Huge win for the Republican Party, and America, in Virginia.”

“The Virginia Supreme Court has just struck down the Democrats’ horrible gerrymander,” he wrote.
Democrats sharply criticized the ruling. Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin said “a group of unelected judges on the Virginia Supreme Court chose to put partisan politics over the will of the people.”
Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones also pushed back, saying the decision “silences the voices of the millions of Virginians who cast their ballots” and that his office is evaluating “every legal pathway forward.”

Harris echoed that sentiment in her post, writing, “We are rightfully outraged, but we will not give up. We must continue our fight to restore the power of the people.”
Her comments come as she has stepped up attacks on Trump in recent appearances while facing renewed questions about her political future.
At a recent event in Las Vegas, Harris said, “For far too many people in our country, the American dream, is not real. And in fact, for many people in their lived experience, it’s what they would consider an American myth.”

She also declined to downplay Trump, saying, “I’m not going to dismiss him as being an idiot. He’s dangerous.”
At the same time, top Democrats have been reluctant to weigh in on whether Harris should lead the party in 2028.
“I have no idea,” Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., told Fox News Digital when asked about her future.
“I have no idea who’s running, and we’ll focus on 2028 after 2026,” Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., said.
Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., said the decision ultimately rests with Harris but added he believes Democrats should have “a wide-open Democratic primary.”
The Virginia ruling is the latest flashpoint in a broader redistricting fight as both parties position themselves ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Harris, for her part, signaled she intends to remain engaged.

“I firmly and strongly believe that when you feel powerless, you are powerless,” Harris said. “And when you feel powerful, you are powerful. And we are powerful and we are powerful. And so let’s just show ourselves, each other, our power around the midterms and every day.”
