President Donald Trump obtained another victory in the political battle with high issues between the Republicans and the Democrats for the redistribution of the Congress.
The Senate of the State of Missouri, meeting on Friday during a special legislative session, was adopted by a 21-11 votes a new card of the congress which is likely to give the Republicans an additional seat in the House of US Representatives before next year next year mid-term elections.
The Missouri, a unique swing state that has moved considerably to the right in the last decade and a half, is the last battlefield of the Congress Rediscussing Confrontation after the passage of new cards in Texas dominated by the GOP and a repeat outbursing by Democrats in highly blue California.
With the adoption of the redistribution bill to the Missouri House of Representatives earlier during the week, the measure is now going to the Bureau of the Republican Governor Mike Kehoe.

“Conservative and common sense values of Missouri should be really represented at all levels of government, and the first Missouri card offers exactly this,” said Kehoe recently announcing the special session and unveiled the proposed card.
Trump, in a social media statement after the Missouri Senate vote, described the new “fantastic” card and said that “will help an additional Maga Republican in the congress in the mid-term elections”.
The new map targets the long -standing Democratic representative Emanuel Cleaver the district of the Kansas City region by moving it east to include rural right -wing voters. The new card would probably return the siege of Cleaver and give the Republicans an advantage of 7-1 in the delegation of the State House.
Cleaver promised to take legal action if the new card is signed by the governor.
“I want to warn us all that if you fight fire with fire long enough, you only have ashes left,” said Cleaver on Thursday, testifying to a Missouri senatorial committee.
And emphasizing the recent polls in public opinion, he described the “extremely unpopular” redistribution plan.

Representative Suzan Delbene, president of the campaign committee of the Democrat Congress, said in a statement that “by adopting a Gerrymandered card which breaks the Kansas City and associating the map with undemocratic legislation which would eliminate the public’s ability to pass by ballot initiatives, the Missouri Republicans send a terrible message themselves.
The Missouri Democrats organized a sit-in last weekend, refusing to leave the Chamber to protest the map supported by the Republican. And the Democrats organized another rally at Missouri Capitol on Wednesday.
The head of the minority of the State Chamber, Ashley Aune, accused the Republicans of having pushed to “fake our cards and eliminate our representation in the Congress”.
And the former representative Russ Carnahan, president of the Missouri Democratic Party, warned that there were political consequences for the Republicans who push towards the Rediscration.
“They choose to bow before Washington’s requests to do certain things that, I think, will stir the anger of Missouri voters, and they are about to see what the Missouri voters looks like,” Carnahan told Fox News Digital.
But with the Republicans under the firm control of the two chambers in the Missouri legislature, the Democrats were without good options to prevent the adoption of the new card.

Kehoe’s announcement of the special session occurred a few hours after the Republican Governor Greg Abbott of Texas signed a redistribution bill adopted by the republican supermajority to the state legislature which aims to create up to five districts of the right -wing congress at the expense of current Democratic control seats in the reliable red state.

The efforts of Missouri and Texas are part of a wide effort of the GOP to fill its majority at the time of a thin house like the razor to keep control of the halfway-through room of 2026, when the power party traditionally faces political opposites and loses seats.
Trump and his political team aim to prevent what happened during his first mandate in the White House, when the Democrats recovered the majority of the room in the 2018 mid-term elections.

Democrats fight against the rare, but not unknown to the redistribution of mid-December.
State legislators in strongly blue California approved a special proposal for voting in November to obtain the approval of the voters to temporarily divert the non -partisan red -cutting commission of the State and refer the power to draw the Congress cards to the legislature dominated by the Democrats.
The effort in California, which aims to create five other districts of the Democratic Congress and to counter the change in Texas, is led by the governor with two mandates Gavin Newsom, who is considered a probable democratic concurrent in 2028.

Democrats currently needing a three-seater pick-up next year to win back the majority of the chamber, Indiana, South Carolina and Florida reflect on their own user-friendly GOP plans before the elections in 2026. And Ohio on the right is under the order of the court to draw new cards before mid-term.
The Democrats, as they repel, turn to New York, Illinois and Maryland in the hope of creating more seats in the left congress.

In Illinois and Maryland, where governors JB Pritzker And Wes Moore discusses the redistribution, the Democrats hope to take up to three other left seats.
And the Democrats could seek a siege in Utah dominated by the Republicans, where a judge recently ordered the legislature controlled by the GOP to draw new cards after judging that the legislators ignored an independent commission approved by voters four years ago to prevent the supporter gerrymandering.
