Barack Obama has issued a stark warning that U.S. elections are “under attack,” specifically pointing to the ongoing redistricting battles ahead of the 2026 Midterms, and he’s urging Virginians to act in a special referendum. He shared this message on X, emphasizing how “several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage.”
Per Newsweek, the former president then tied this directly to Virginia, stating, “Now Virginia has a chance to help level the playing field.” He ended by saying, “We can’t afford two more years of unchecked power and zero accountability in Washington. Help us chart a better path forward.” This post ended up with over 2 million views within just the first hour.
