The Governor of Missouri signs a new redistribution card of the Congress supported by Trump

Win another victory for the president Donald Trump In the political battle with high issues between the Republicans and the Democrats on the redistribution of the Congress.

On Sunday, the governor of GOP Mike Kehoe of Missouri signed a new Congress card on Sunday, Missouri, which is likely to give the Republicans an additional siege to the House of US Representatives before the mid-term elections next year.

The Missouri, formerly considered as a swing state which has moved considerably to the right in the last decade and a half, is the last battlefield in the confrontation of redistribution of the Congress after the passage of new cards in Texas dominated by the GOP and a redistribution push by the Democrats in strongly blue California.

“I was proud to officially sign the first Missouri card today before the mid-term elections in 2026,” Kehoe said in a statement. “We believe that this card best represents Missourians, and I appreciate the support and efforts of the legislators of the States, our delegation from the Congress and President Trump to bring this card to my office.”

Trump, in a declaration of social media after an adoption at the state legislature dominated by the GOP, called the new “fantastic” card and declared that it “will help send an additional Maga Republican to the congress during the mid-term elections of 2026”.

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 earlier this month, testifying to a Missouri Senate Committee.

And emphasizing the recent polls in public opinion, he described the “extremely unpopular” redistribution plan.

And the chief of the Missouri minority, Ashley Aune, accused the Republicans of having pushed to “rig our cards and eliminate our representation in the Congress”.

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 to two mandates. Gavin Newsomwhich is considered a probable democrat presidential competitor in 2028.

Democrats currently needing a three-seater pick-up halfway up next year to reconquer the majority of the room, the Republicans of Indiana, South Carolina, Florida, Kansas and Nebraska reflect on their own friendly Redivial Rediscovery Plans before the 2026 elections. 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.

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.
