Ron DeSantis Aims to Add Four Republican House Seats in Florida Redistricting Push
⚡ TL;DR · AI summary

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis proposed a new congressional redistricting map that could add up to four Republican seats ahead of the 2026 midterms, potentially reducing Democratic representation to just four of the state’s 28 districts. The map, which targets Democratic-held areas in South Florida, Tampa, and Orlando, was released with limited detail and ahead of a special legislative session. With Republican supermajorities in the state legislature, the plan is expected to pass quickly despite concerns over the short review period. The changes could give national Republicans a modest advantage in the upcoming midterms.
