Missouri GOP Redistricting Plan Faces Opposition from Civil Rights Groups

Missouri Republicans approved a new redistricting plan that could help them gain an additional U.S. House seat, but opponents are planning a referendum to challenge the map. The plan targets a district held by Democrat Emanuel Cleaver, reducing minority representation and drawing criticism from community members. The redistricting is part of a broader national trend ahead of the midterm elections, with implications for control of the House and political power dynamics.
