Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is raising alarms over President Donald Trump’s aggressive push for mid-decade redistricting in Republican-led states, claiming the effort could intensify national divisions and even lead to “political violence.”
Paul’s comments came during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
The senator was pressed on the Indiana State Senate’s recent decision to reject a Trump-backed redistricting proposal.
The president endorsed the mid-cycle map overhaul.
It’s one that analysts say would have added two GOP seats ahead of next year’s midterms.
