The new map of the Missouri Congress could return the headquarters of the house for GOP

The Missouri House of Representatives adopted a new Congress card on Tuesday which is expected to give Republicans an additional seat in the House of Representatives of the United States before the mid-term elections of 2026.

The Missouri Senate is now responsible for passing the new card before being able to land on the office of the Republican Governor Mike Kehoe.

A special session of Missouri Legislative Assembly To redraw the districts of the solidly red state congress began last week. The state of the Midwest is the last battlefield in the partisan struggle with high issues on the redistribution of the congress before mid-term.

“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, announcing the special session and revealing the proposed card.

The Missouri Democrats organized a sit-in during the weekend, refusing to leave the Chamber to protest the map supported by the Republican. The chief of the Missouri State House minority, Ashley Aune, accused the Republicans of having pushed to “rig our cards and eliminate our representation in the Congress”.

The president of the National Democratic Committee (DNC), Ken Martin, celebrated the demonstration of Missouri Democrats in a statement published on Monday.

“The DNC applauds their efforts leading and using each tool at their disposal to raise awareness of the Craven program by the Missouri Republicans. In all corners of this country, the Democrats are fighting. Missouri Democrats can count on the support of the DNC while we protect Martin, said Martin.

Kehoe displacement Came a few hours after the republican governor Greg Abbott of Texas signed a redistribution bill adopted by the republican supermajure to the legislature of the State which aims to create up to five districts of the right congress at the expense of the seats currently controlled by the Democrats in the reliable red state.

The efforts of the Missouri and Texas are part of a wide effort of the GOP to fill their majority at the time of a thin house like the razor to keep control of the halfway up chamber of 2026, when the ruling party is traditionally confronted with political-opposite winds and loses seats.

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.

In Missouri, the new map proposed by Kehoe targets the long -standing Democratic representative Emanuel Cleaver the regional district of Kansas City by moving it east to include rural voters on the right.

If it is adopted by the legislature controlled by the GOP, the new card would probably overthrow the siege of Cleaver and give the Republicans an advantage from seven to one in the delegation of the American Chamber of the State.

Cleaver, whose siege is threatened, has promised to take legal action if the new card is signed by the governor.

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 Govs. JB Pritzker And Wes Moore discusses the redistribution, the Democrats hope to take up to three other left seats.

And the Democrats could take a seat in right -wing Utah, where a judge recently ordered the GOP controlled legislature to draw new cards after deciding that legislators four years ago have ignored an independent commission approved by voters to prevent partisan gerrymandering.
