It’s mission accomplished for Republicans in a second state they control in the high-stakes political battle over congressional redistricting, pitting President Donald Trump<\/a> and the GOP against the Democrats.<\/p>\n

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe last weekend signed into law a new congressional map that is likely to hand Republicans an additional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives <\/a>ahead of next year’s midterms elections.<\/p>\n

Missouri, a one-time swing state that has dramatically shifted to the right over the past decade and a half, is the latest battleground in the congressional redistricting showdown after the passage of new maps in GOP-dominated Texas and a redistricting push by Democrats in heavily blue California.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With Democrats currently needing just a three-seat pickup in next year’s midterms to win back the House majority, each seat could be critical.<\/p>\n

REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR SIGNS INTO LAW TRUMP-BACKED CONGRESSIONAL MAP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I was proud to officially sign the Missouri First Map into law today ahead of the 2026 midterm election,” Kehoe said in a statement. “We believe this map best represents Missourians, and I appreciate the support and efforts of state legislators, our congressional delegation, and President Trump in getting this map to my desk.”<\/p>\n

Trump, in a social media statement following passage in the GOP-dominated state legislature last month, called the new map “FANTASTIC” and said it “will help send an additional MAGA Republican to Congress in the 2026 Midterm Elections.”<\/p>\n

Republicans currently control six of Missouri’s eight congressional seats<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Democrats are vowing to fight the new maps with legal challenges and other opponents are gathering petition signatures to force a statewide referendum on the redistricting law.<\/p>\n

ABBOTT CLEARS FINAL REDISTRICTING HURDLE AS TEXAS SENATE PASSES NEW TRUMP-APPROVED MAP<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Kehoe announced Missouri’s special legislative session to pass the new map as Republican Gov. Greg Abbott<\/u><\/a> of Texas signed into law a redistricting bill passed by the Republican supermajority in the state legislature that aims to create up to five right-leaning congressional districts at the expense of current Democrat-controlled seats in the reliably red state.<\/p>\n

The moves in Missouri and Texas are part of a broad effort by the GOP to pad its razor-thin House majority to keep control of the chamber in the 2026 midterms, when the party in power traditionally faces political headwinds and loses seats.<\/p>\n

Trump and his political team are aiming to prevent what happened during his first term in the White House, when Democrats reclaimed the House majority in the 2018 midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Democrats are fighting back against the rare, but not unheard-of mid-decade redistricting.<\/p>\n

California state lawmakers approved a special ballot proposition this November to obtain voter approval to temporarily sidetrack the state’s nonpartisan redistricting commission and return the power to draw the congressional maps to the Democrat-dominated legislature.<\/p>\n

The effort in California, which aims to create five more Democratic-leaning congressional districts and counter the shift in Texas, is being spearheaded by two-term Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/u><\/a>, who is seen as a likely 2028 Democratic presidential contender.<\/p>\n

With the new maps in Texas and Missouri signed into law, and voters in California weighing in at the ballot box this fall, here’s a look at which states could be next in the redistricting battle.<\/p>\n

Ohio<\/strong><\/p>\n

State lawmakers in the Buckeye State missed a deadline this past Tuesday to approve a new, bipartisan map. They’re under a court order to come up with a new map because the one used the past two election cycles didn’t receive enough bipartisan support.<\/p>\n

Since the GOP-controlled state legislature failed to come up with a new map, the task now falls to Ohio’s Republican-dominated redistricting commission, which has until the end of the month to get the job done.<\/p>\n

Ohio was once a top battleground state, but Republicans have dominated statewide contests over the past decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Republicans currently hold ten of the state’s 15 U.S. House seats.<\/p>\n

Ohio, due to the mandated court order for a new map, was originally the only state expected to undergo congressional redistricting this year before Trump and his political team urged other Republican-controlled states to alter their maps.<\/p>\n

Indiana<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lawmakers in the Hoosier State, another one-time battleground where Republicans are now firmly in the majority, could meet in a special legislative session later this year to push through redistricting.<\/p>\n

Vice President JD Vance paid a visit to the Indiana Statehouse in early August to huddle with Republican leaders about redistricting. And a couple of weeks later a group of Indiana GOP lawmakers traveled to the nation’s capital to meet with Vance and other Trump White House leaders.<\/p>\n

Republican Gov. Mike Braun, in recent interviews, said he wanted state lawmakers to take the lead on redistricting.<\/p>\n

“I want it to be where it wasn\u2019t forced upon our legislature, have our leaders talk to their own caucus members,” the governor told WOWO radio.<\/p>\n

Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once the biggest battleground prize in presidential elections, Florida is now firmly red.<\/p>\n

And Republican leaders are mulling a new map, with GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis this summer calling mid-decade redistricting “appropriate.”<\/p>\n

A select panel in the Republican-dominated state legislature could meet next month to start discussion on congressional redistricting.<\/p>\n

Maryland<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democrats in heavily blue Maryland are weighing a redistricting push.<\/p>\n

A bill that would allow Maryland to undergo mid-decade redistricting if another state first passed new maps was introduced this summer by Democrats.<\/p>\n

Democrats currently hold seven of the state’s 8 U.S. House seats.<\/p>\n

Other states considering altering their maps are Democrat-dominated Illinois and red states Kansas and Nebraska.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Democrats could pick up a seat in Republican-dominated Utah, where a judge recently ordered the GOP-controlled legislature to draw new maps after ruling that lawmakers four years ago ignored an independent commission approved by voters to prevent partisan gerrymandering.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
