Redistricting

Matt Gagnon criticized Illinois Governor JB Pritzker for his comments on Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the gerrymandered Illinois congressional map. Pritzker defended the map, citing public hearings, despite a disparity where Trump won 44% of the vote but Republicans hold only three of 17 House districts. Gagnon highlighted the map’s gerrymandered nature, using the 15th district as an example. He also criticized Pritzker’s hypocrisy and wealth, noting that New York similarly gerrymandered its map in 2024. Gagnon argued that redistricting is a partisan power game, with both parties engaging in similar tactics.
