President Donald Trump won’t play a role in the Ohio redistricting process, according to Ohio House Speaker Matt Huffman, who said that he won’t be pressured into giving the administration their desired maps.
Even though Ohio leaders just announced the Joint Committee on Congressional Redistricting on Wednesday, the process is already rocky.
The speaker and Ohio Republicans are disappointed in the Democrats, arguing that they are not playing fair because redistricting should be a bipartisan process.
“It’s not our map, it’s the voters’ map.”The joint committee has until the end of September to pass a bipartisan map, or else the Ohio Redistricting Commission takes over.
When pressed further about Trump, Huffman reiterated that any president of any party would like to have more members of their party in Congress.
