Jeffries: Maryland Will Begin Redistricting Soon

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries anticipates Maryland Democrats to redraw congressional maps, potentially gaining an extra seat in Congress. However, Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson opposes this, citing fairness concerns and likening it to historical voter disenfranchisement. Meanwhile, in California, voters are set to approve Proposition 5, allowing the state to redraw maps in favor of Democrats, following Republican moves in Texas, North Carolina, and potentially Indiana. The stakes are high, with Maryland's single Republican representative, Andy Harris, holding a significant lead in his district. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered.
