DeSantis rolls out GOP-leaning Florida map ahead of redistricting session
TL;DR
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis released a new congressional map just 24 hours before a special session, a move designed to tilt the state’s 2026 House map in Republicans’ favor by potentially netting up to four seats and reshaping districts held by four Democratic incumbents. The plan raises legal questions about Florida’s Fair Districts standards after a state Supreme Court ruling, and Democrats promise court challenges even as Republicans push to approve the map using 2020 census data ahead of the midterms.
