New Missouri Congress map can be flipped Dem House seats

this Missouri House of Representatives A new congressional map was passed Tuesday, which is expected to place Republicans in additional seats in the U.S. House of Representatives before the 2026 midterm elections.

The Missouri Senate is now tasked with landing on Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe’s table through a new map.

Special meeting Missouri’s Legislature To repaint the solid red state congressional district, it started last week. Midwest states are the latest battlefield in the high-risk party battle against the high-risk party redistricted by Congress.

“The conservative, common sense value of Missouri should be truly represented in government at all levels, and Missouri’s first maps provide that,” Kehoe said in announcing the special session.

Missouri Democrats sat in the weekend and refused to leave the chamber in protest against Republican-supported maps. Missouri State House Minority Leader Ashley Aune accused Republicans of pushing for “manipulating our maps and eliminating our representation in Congress.”

Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman Ken Martin celebrated the protests in a statement released on Monday.

“The DNC appreciates their efforts to lead and uses every tool that can be used to raise awareness among Missouri Republicans about the Craven Project. In every corner of the country, Democrats are fighting back. Missouri Democrats can count on the support of the DNC as we protect Missouri voters and save our country from Trump’s billionaire-billion-Philion-Felste Felste (Trump),”

Kehoe’s actions Hours after Republican Governor Greg Abbott of Texas signed the law, the Republican super-passed redistricting bill passed in the state legislature aims to create up to five right-leaning congressional districts at the expense of current Democratic-controlled seats.

The Republican efforts in Missouri and Texas are part of a broad Republican effort to maintain control of the room by mid-2026, when the parties in power traditionally face political headwinds and lose seats.

Democrats are fighting back against the rare but unheard of redistricting.

California’s heavy blue state legislators approved a special vote proposal in November to get voter approval to temporarily resist the state’s nonpartisan redivision committee and return to the power to map the congressional map to the Democratic-led legislature.

The efforts in California are aimed at creating five Democratic congressional districts and responding to the Texas transformation, led by two administrations. Gavin Newsomconsidered a 2028 Democratic presidential contender.

In Missouri, Kehoe proposed a new map that shifted longtime Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s Kansas City area area, shifting it eastward to include rural right-leaning voters.

If the Republican-controlled legislature passes, the new map could flip the meat-cutter seat and give Republicans a seven-on-one advantage in the state’s U.S. House delegation.

The knife-hand of the threatened cutter vows to take legal action if the governor signs the new map into law.

In the middle of next year, Democrats currently need only three pickups to win a House majority, Indiana, South Carolina and Florida are carefully considering their own Republican-friendly re-division plans. Right-leaning Ohio draws a new map by the midterm according to a court order.

As Democrats push back, they hope to travel to New York, Illinois and Maryland in a bid to build more left-leaning congressional seats.

In Illinois and Maryland, the government is there. JB Pritzker Wes Moore is discussing rezoning, with Democrats hoping to get up to three left-leaning seats.

Democrats can take over the seat in right-leaning Utah, where the judge recently ordered lawmakers four years ago ignored the voter-approved independent committee to prevent guerrillas from sending partisans.
