Louisiana redraws congressional map to tilt GOP after ruling

Louisiana lawmakers approved a new congressional map that eliminates one Black-majority district and adds a Republican-leaning seat, reshaping the state’s delegation to five Republicans and one Democrat in response to a Supreme Court ruling on racial gerrymandering and the Voting Rights Act. The plan preserves a Black-majority district but is expected to face legal challenges from voting-rights advocates, while the piece also notes how potential 2028 presidential contenders are navigating questions about their plans.
