The Republicans demand the right to get 80 % of the seats with 50 % of the vote.
They are enraged the Democratic majority on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, opposed by the Republican minority, won't let them do that without a fight.
Trump Endorses G.O.P. Fight to Keep Gerrymandered Congressional Map
President Trump added his voice on Saturday to the continued conservative outcry over the court-ordered redistricting of the Pennsylvania congressional map, calling the decision “very unfair to Republicans and to our country.”
“Democrat judges have totally redrawn election lines in the great State of Pennsylvania,” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter.
“This is very unfair to Republicans and to our country as a whole. Must be appealed to the United States Supreme Court ASAP!”
The Supreme Court this month denied a request from Pennsylvania Republicans to stop the state’s highest court from requiring lawmakers to redraw the map of the state’s 18 House districts.
The new map, released by the state court this past week, effectively eliminates the Republican advantage in Pennsylvania, endangering several incumbent Republican seats and bolstering Democrat standings in two open races.
