Florida Gov. DeSantis Unveils New Congressional Map to Create Four New GOP-Leaning House Seats

HeadlineApr 28, 2026

Virginia’s Supreme Court heard oral arguments Monday on the legality of a redistricting referendum that voters approved last week. The redrawn Democratic map could result in the party holding 10 of Virginia’s 11 congressional seats, up from six. Meanwhile, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis released a new congressional map Monday that seeks to create four additional Republican-leaning seats in the state. It comes as the Supreme Court formally reinstated on Monday a redrawn Texas electoral map, allowing Republicans to flip as many as five House seats currently held by Democrats.
