HUGE WIN: Missouri Supreme Court UPHOLDS New Congressional Map Ahead of Midterms

The Missouri Supreme Court just granted the GOP a huge victory ahead of midterms.

In a 4-3 decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that lawmakers are allowed to re-draw the state’s Congressional maps mid-cycle.

This is likely to flip a key blue seat to red this November!

Needless to say, this is a massive blow to Democrats.

And, Missouri isn’t the only state seeking to re-draw Congressional districts ahead of midterms.

Florida has proposed new maps that would favor Republicans, while Virginians will soon vote on a new map that would give Democrats a boost.

NBC News has more:

The map, which Missouri’s Republican governor signed into law last year, is designed to net the GOP a House seat in the 2026 midterm elections. Typically, states redraw their district lines every 10 years after a new census.

“The obligation to legislate congressional districts once a decade does not limit the General Assembly’s power to redistrict more frequently than once a decade. Simply put, ‘when’ does not mean ‘only when,'” Judge Zel M. Fischer wrote in the majority opinion, which was signed by four judges. Three other dissented.

It’s a win for President Donald Trump, who called on Republican-controlled states last year to redraw their congressional maps ahead of the midterms, where the GOP faces a tough battle to maintain control of the House. His calls triggered a national redistricting arms race between with both parties, with six states enacting new maps in 2025.

The fight is ongoing, with voters in Virginia set to weigh in on a Democratic-drawn map next month as Republican lawmakers in Florida are preparing for special special legislative session on redistricting.

Missouri’s new map aims to help Republicans unseat Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver by moving parts of Kansas City into two more rural and Republican-leaning districts nearby. Six Republicans have filed to run for the newly drawn seat ahead of the August primary.

How does that sound?
