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.

Gagnon argued that redistricting is a partisan power game, with both parties engaging in similar tactics.
