DeSantis Plans Mid-Decade Redistricting in Florida

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis plans to call a special legislative session next spring to redraw the states congressional map, following a potential U.S. Supreme Court decision. This move aligns with a national trend of mid-decade redistricting, as both parties strategize for the 2026 midterm elections. Republicans argue that this effort is necessary to prevent Democratic-led states from maximizing their seats. Floridas House leadership has already started preparing, with a Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting holding its first meeting in December. Democrats and activist groups are preparing to challenge this effort, citing potential conflicts with the states Fair Districts amendment. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered.
