How Democratic leadership sank $40 million meant to defend key seats on a gamble that backfired

Democrats spent $64 million to redraw Virginia's congressional map, but the effort failed after the Virginia Supreme Court invalidated the process due to a procedural constitutional violation. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is confident in their ability to take back the majority despite being outspent by Republicans. The GOP has a significant cash advantage, with nearly $1 billion on hand compared to the Democrats' $550 million.
