Virginia Democrats are poised to enter the redistricting battle with Republicans from other states later Thursday in order to counter President Donald Trump‘s agenda to add more House GOP seats.

The plan is set to be announced later Thursday when Democratic leaders in the Virginia General Assembly convene state lawmakers for a session to start Monday, the New York Times reported. Scott Surovell, the Democratic majority leader in the Virginia State Senate, confirmed the news to the outlet.
