Top Dem Whose District Is Going Away Rips Supreme Court

Thompson also said that he represented people better than any other member of his state’s congressional delegation.

“Look at my voting record, it says that I care about education, housing, and healthcare, and my vote reflects that. More so than any other member of our delegation, but somehow, that is bad,” Thompson said, per WAPT.

Mississippi Republicans have called for the elimination of Thompson’s seat in order to comply with the Supreme Court’s ruling.

“Mississippi has long had a congressional district—the second congressional district—which was gerrymandered around race. And there is no reason under this new ruling for that district to exist with the lines that it currently has,” State Auditor Shad White told the outlet.
