HeadlineApr 21, 2022

In other news from Florida, the Republican-led state Senate has approved a new congressional map that critics say is designed to curtail Black political power in the state. Florida state Senator Shevrin Jones criticized the redistricting plan.

Sen. Shevrin Jones: “And so, Governor DeSantis, I’m not going to call what you’re doing a culture war anymore. I’m going to call it just what it is: It’s a racist tactic that you’re doing, and you know what you’re doing.”
