President Trump on Wednesday ripped a recent ruling that Utah must redraw its congressional lines as “absolutely unconstitutional” amid a growing redistricting fight across the country.
“Monday’s Court Order in Utah is absolutely Unconstitutional. How did such a wonderful Republican State like Utah, which I won in every Election, end up with so many Radical Left Judges?” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
District Court Judge Dianna Gibson ruled that the GOP-controlled state Legislature went around safeguards against partisan gerrymandering with the latest lines and must redraw ahead of next year’s midterms.
Under the current map, Utah’s four congressional districts are all held by Republicans. A redrawing could, depending on how lines are drawn around blue Salt Lake City, mean an opportunity for Democrats to snag a House seat in the state.
