Fox News reports:
According to the proposed map, Jordan could be billed up against Democrat Rep. Joyce Beatty of Ohio for the 4th Congressional District’s seat.
Kevin Eichinger, a spokesperson for the Jordan campaign, suggested the proposed map was an attempt to draw the congressman out of his seat.
“John Boehner tried to draw Mr. Jordan out 10 years ago. It didn’t work then. It won’t work now,” Eichinger said. “Mr. Jordan is running for reelection.”
Redistricting has taken the nation by storm ahead of the 2022 elections, with state legislators in each party trying to carve out advantageous districts for their allies.
Jim Jordan has been a longtime Trump supporter and has already been endorsed for re-election by the former president. Will the Senate GOP keep pushing these proposals that could cost Rep. Jordan his seat in Congress or will they come to their senses?
