The Missouri House passed a new congressional map, likely giving the Republicans one more seat.
The current map has six Republican and two Democrat representatives.
The new map will likely be seven Republicans and one Democrat.
It now has to pass the Senate, where it is expected to pass.
The Missouri state House has approved a new congressional district map designed to give Republicans an additional seat in its U.S. House delegation, sending the plan to the state Senate for approval.
The proposal passed in a mostly party-line vote with some defections, 90 to 65, after Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) called for a special session for thestate Legislature to set a new map for the rest of the decade. The redrawn map, if ultimately approved, would likely increase the margin in the U.S. House from six Republicans and two Democrats to seven Republicans and one Democrat.
Democratic state House members denounced the map as a power grab and Republicans yielding to President Trump’s wishes, but with the party in a significant minority in both houses of the Legislature, they don’t have much power to stop the map from advancing.
…
The map is expected to pass in the state Senate and be signed into law by Kehoe to be in place in time for the 2026 midterm elections.
Donald Trump celebrated the passage and praised the legislators for voting for it.
He also called on the Missouri Senate to pass it.
Congratulations to Missouri’s incredible Republican State Legislators, who just overwhelmingly voted to pass their new, much fairer, and improved, Congressional Map. It was my Great Honor to win Missouri six times, including Primaries, in 2016, 2020, and 2024 (Getting the Highest Number of Votes for any Office in the History of the State!), and this new Map will give the wonderful people of Missouri the opportunity to elect an additional MAGA Republican in the 2026 Midterm Elections. The Missouri Senate must pass this Map now, AS IS, to deliver a gigantic Victory for Republicans in the “Show Me State,” and across the Country. I will be watching closely. THANK YOU MISSOURI — MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
