President Donald Trump and Republicans are hailing the blockbuster ruling by the Virginia Supreme Court to strike down the state's congressional redistricting ballot measure, which was a major setback for Democrats in the battle for the U.S. House majority."Huge win for the Republican Party," the president proclaimed in a social media post on Friday minutes after Virginia's highest court struck down the referendum passed by voters last month.The new map drawn by the Virginia legislature would have given Democrats four more left-leaning House districts in the Commonwealth ahead of this year's midterm elections, when Republicans will be defending their razor-thin majority in the chamber.The Virginia ruling, along with the recent opinion by the conservative majority on the Supreme Court to slash a key Voting Rights Act protection, is giving Trump and the GOP a major boost in their ongoing political fight with Democrats to redraw congressional district maps ahead of the midterms. At stake in this nationwide redistricting showdown is which party will control the House during the final two years of Trump's second term in the White House.BLOCKBUSTER RULING: VIRGINIA SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN DEMOCRAT-BACKED CONGRESSIONAL MAPIn Virginia, the decision means the map used in the 2024 elections will stay in place for the 2026 ballot box showdowns. Democrats currently control the state's U.S. House delegation by a 6-5 margin. The now overturned map could have resulted in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in the blue-leaning but competitive state.In the wake of their latest legal setback, House Democratic Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York said, "We are exploring all options to overturn this shocking decision."And the House minority leader vowed, "No matter what it takes, House Democrats will win in November so we can help rescue this nation from the extremism being unleashed by Donald Trump and Republicans."But the 2026 redistricting wars are far from over, and the political landscape may get even rougher for Democrats going forward.Here's where things stand.The Supreme Court's decision reshaped the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act by ruling that race should not dictate the redrawing of legislative district maps. And the opinion specifically ruled that Louisiana's congressional district map was unconstitutional.Last week, the Supreme Court said that its decision declaring Louisiana's map unconstitutional should go into effect immediately, breaking with its usual procedure of waiting roughly a month before its opinions become official.That cleared the way for the GOP-controlled state legislature to begin the process of redrawing the map, and hearings got underway on Friday.Republican Gov. Jeff Landry, a top Trump ally, took swift action in the immediate aftermath of the high court's ruling, when he delayed the May 16 U.S. House primary elections in Louisiana.Louisiana Republicans are aiming to erase one or both of the two Black-majority House seats, which are represented by Democrats.Republicans in Tennessee moved even faster.The GOP-dominated Tennessee legislature on Thursday quickly adopted a new map that would eliminate the only Democrat-controlled congressional district in the state, and would likely give Republicans control of all nine districts.TENN GOV LEE CALLS SPECIAL SESSION TO REDRAW HOUSE MAP IN GOP'S FAVOR 9-0GOP Gov. Bill Lee quickly signed the new maps into law.Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen, who represents the majority Black district that's being carved up, vowed legal action."Trump knows he HAS TO rig the game to keep his majority in November. And the TN GOP was willing to go along with it. Its shameful," Cohen wrote on social media. "Next stop is the courts."Lawmakers in the Alabama legislature, where the GOP holds a supermajority in both chambers, are advancing legislation as they met this past week in a special session focused on redistricting. The new maps may result in eliminating one or both of the state's two blue-leaning U.S. House districts.The special session was called by Republican Gov. Kay Ivey.But any new map passed by Alabama lawmakers will need to be greenlit by the Supreme Court. That's because Alabama is currently prohibited by the high court from redistricting until 2030. It's unclear if the court will lift its injunction.Protests rocked both the Alabama and Tennessee legislatures as Republican lawmakers pushed forward the new maps.In South Carolina, the GOP-controlled legislature returns in special session on Monday, as Republican lawmakers consider a new map that could put longtime Rep. Jim Clyburn, the only Democrat in the state's seven-person House delegation, out of a job.Republicans in Georgia are divided over GOP Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia's decision not to call state lawmakers back into a special session on redistricting.The state's primary is on May 19 and early voting is already underway in Georgia.Meanwhile, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill passed last week by the GOP-dominated state legislature that redraws the red-leaning state's congressional districts, adding four more right-leaning seats by eliminating districts currently controlled by Democrats.Republicans currently control Florida's U.S. House delegation by a 20-8 margin.The battle over the maps ignited last spring when Trump, aiming to prevent what happened during his first term in the White House when Democrats reclaimed the House majority in the 2018 midterms, first floated the idea of rare, but not unheard of, mid-decade congressional redistricting.The mission was simple: redraw congressional district maps in red states to pad the GOP's fragile House majority to keep control of the chamber in the midterms, when the party in power traditionally faces political headwinds and loses seats.When asked by reporters last summer about his plan to add Republican-leaning House seats across the country, the president said, "Texas will be the biggest one. And thatll be five."Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas called a special session of the GOP-dominated state legislature to pass the new map.But Democratic state lawmakers, who broke quorum for two weeks as they fled Texas in a bid to delay the passage of the redistricting bill, energized Democrats across the country. Among those leading the fight against Trump's redistricting was Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California.California voters in November overwhelmingly passed Proposition 50, a ballot initiative that temporarily sidetracked the left-leaning state's nonpartisan redistricting commission and returned the power to draw the congressional maps to the Democratic-dominated legislature.That led to five more Democratic-leaning congressional districts in California, which aimed to counter the move by Texas to redraw their maps.But the fight quickly spread beyond Texas and California.Republican-controlled Missouri and Ohio and swing state North Carolina, where the GOP dominates the legislature, drew new maps as part of the president's push.But in blows to Republicans, a Utah district judge late last year rejected a congressional district map drawn by the state's GOP-dominated legislature and instead approved an alternate that will create a Democratic-leaning district ahead of the midterms.And Republicans in Indiana's Senate in December defied Trump, shooting down a redistricting bill that had passed the state House.Facing the president's wrath, five of those Republican state senators in Indiana were ousted by Trump-backed challengers in last week's GOP primary.

President Donald Trump is ramping up pressure on Congress to overhaul college sports, warning the system could be "lost forever" as a White House-backed committee pushes sweeping changes to rein in athlete pay, transfers and soaring costs.The proposals include creating a task force to examine pooled media rights, limits on coaching salaries, rewritten eligibility rules and changes to the transfer portal, according to a draft document obtained by Yahoo Sports and reported by The Associated Press.The push builds on a recent executive order from Trump, which described college athletics as an "out-of-control financial arms race" fueled by loosening rules around player compensation, transfers and eligibility and urged federal action before the system destabilizes further.The White House said the current model is "driving universities into debt," threatening womens and Olympic sports and undermining student-athletes educational opportunities.TRUMP SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER TO REGULATE THE BUSINESS OF COLLEGE SPORTS"Further delay is not an option given what is at stake," the order states, citing roughly 500,000 annual educational, athletic and leadership opportunities and nearly $4 billion in scholarships.Trump has also raised alarms about the direction of college sports, saying during a White House roundtable last month that "crazy things are happening" as players stay in school longer and earn more through NIL deals, according to previous Fox News Digital reporting.The draft proposal calls on Congress to quickly pass legislation creating a task force with an antitrust exemption and authority to override individual state laws, a major priority for NCAA and college sports leaders seeking national standards.I PLAYED DIVISION1 VOLLEYBALL NIL CHAOS IS OUT OF CONTROL. THE SCORE ACT WILL SAVE SPORTSAmong the most divisive ideas is pooling media rights across conferences, a move opposed by the Southeastern Conference and Big Ten but backed by a group led by Texas Tech regent Cody Campbell, who has argued it could add billions in value, according to AP.The draft also calls for rules targeting "salary-cap circumvention," an apparent reference to schools using third-party NIL deals to get around current limits on direct payments to athletes.That issue is already at the center of an arbitration case brought by Nebraska football players whose NIL deals were rejected by the College Sports Commission, which reviews third-party contracts.NCAA SETTLEMENT CHAOS: NEW LEGAL MOVE COULD TRIGGER MASSIVE INCREASE IN NIL SPENDINGTrumps executive order also directs agencies that contract with or give grants to higher education institutions to evaluate certain violations of college athletics rules, including eligibility limits, transfers, revenue sharing and "improper financial activities."The order defines those activities to include fraudulent NIL schemes, use of federal funds for NIL or revenue-sharing payments and interference with contracts between student-athletes and other schools.The White House also urged college athletics governing bodies to clarify rules before Aug. 1, including limits on eligibility, transfer rules, medical care for athletes and protections for womens and Olympic sports.HOUSE VOTE ON NIL REGULATION ACT CANCELED DESPITE TRUMP'S BACKING AS SOME REPUBLICANS STILL NOT ON BOARDCongress has been stalled for more than a year on legislation codifying parts of the House settlement that put revenue-sharing into place, according to AP.The draft committee document calls for lawmakers to act before Congress leaves for its traditional August recess.Without a national solution, the administration has warned, the financial pressure created by football and basketball could force schools to cut other sports or reshape college athletics entirely.The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.Fox News Digital's Ryan Morik contributed to this reporting.The Associated Press contributed to this reporting.

The cruise ship linked to a deadly Hantavirus outbreak arrived early Sunday off the Spanish island of Tenerife, where the evacuation of passengers is expected to begin.Passengers will be tested by Spanish health authorities to ensure they are asymptomatic before being transported ashore in small boats, Spanish officials said, according to Reuters.Evacuation is expected to begin between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. local time, with Spanish nationals disembarking first, followed by passengers of other nationalities, Reuters reported.They are then expected to be taken to the islands main airport and flown back to their home countries. Multiple Americans are believed to be aboard the MV Hondius.AMERICANS TO BE EVACUATED FROM HANTAVIRUS CRUISE SHIP AS GLOBAL HEALTH CHIEF TRAVELS TO QUARANTINE ISLANDFox News Digital previously reported that the U.S. government is planning to transfer American passengers to a military base in Nebraska for quarantine and monitoring.The ship set course for Spain on Wednesday from the coast of Cape Verde after the WHO and European Union requested assistance in managing the outbreak.The ships arrival comes hours after World Health Organization Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus arrived on the island.The WHO said Friday that eight people aboard the ship had fallen ill, including three who died. Six cases have been confirmed, with two others suspected.HANTAVIRUS DEATHS ON CRUISE SHIP HIGHLIGHT DANGERS OF RODENT-BORNE DISEASEIn a statement Saturday, Ghebreyesus said the public health risk remains low."I know you are worried. I know that when you hear the word 'outbreak' and watch a ship sail toward your shores, memories surface that none of us have fully put to rest," he said."The pain of 2020 is still real, and I do not dismiss it for a single moment. But I need you to hear me clearly: this is not another COVID-19. The current public health risk from Hantavirus remains low. My colleagues and I have said this unequivocally, and I will say it again to you now," he continued.ARGENTINA INVESTIGATORS ZERO IN ON POSSIBLE ORIGIN POINT OF HANTAVIRUS IN DEADLY CRUISE OUTBREAKGhebreyesus noted that the virus identified aboard the ship is the Andes strain of hantavirus, which can be severe."Three people have lost their lives, and our hearts go out to their families," he wrote, reiterating that the public health risk posed by the virus remained low.About 30 crew members are expected to remain on board as the vessel continues to the Netherlands, where it will be disinfected.Fox News Digital's Robert McGreevy and Reuters contributed to this report.
