Former Vice President Kamala Harris launched into attack mode after the Virginia Supreme Court delivered a crushing blow to Democrat redistricting schemes, accusing President Donald Trump and Republicans of trying to “rig the 2026 elections.”

The court invalidated a controversial voter-approved redistricting referendum that would have handed Democrats near-total control of Virginia’s congressional delegation.

“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.”

The ruling marked a significant victory for Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms and exposed the left’s willingness to bypass constitutional safeguards when power is on the line.

“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 razor-thin 51% to 49% margin, would have temporarily seized redistricting authority from Virginia’s nonpartisan commission and handed it to the Democrat-controlled legislature through 2030. The expected result? A shocking 10-1 Democratic advantage in the state’s congressional delegation — a blatant gerrander that would have tilted the balance of power in Washington.

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 predictably erupted in outrage over the constitutionally sound ruling. Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin claimed “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 pushed back against the decision, saying it “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 and whether Democrats even want her to lead the ticket in 2028. At a recent event in Las Vegas, Harris delivered a grim assessment of America under conservative governance.

“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 said.

She also refused 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 conspicuously reluctant to endorse Harris for 2028 — a telling sign of the chaos brewing within the party.

“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.” Translation: Harris isn’t exactly inspiring confidence among the party establishment.

The Virginia ruling is the latest flashpoint in a broader redistricting fight as both parties position themselves ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. But while Republicans celebrate a constitutional victory, Democrats are left scrambling to explain why they tried to bypass the system in the first place.

Harris, for her part, signaled she intends to remain engaged:

“I firmly and strongly believe that when you feel powerless, you are powerless. 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.”

The Constitution must be defended.
