Florida redraws four districts to tilt House control toward GOP
TL;DR Summary
Florida House Republicans approved a new congressional map designed to give Republicans a four-seat edge in the U.S. House, reshuffling four districts that previously leaned Democratic toward Trump-side outcomes. The GOP‑run Senate is expected to move the measure forward and Gov. DeSantis is involved, but courts are expected to challenge the map under Florida’s ban on partisan redistricting. With primaries in August, litigation and legal battles over the map’s legality are likely to shape the balance of power in 2026 and beyond.
