Hakeem Jeffries warned Florida Republicans to 'F around and find out' over the redistricting push
FIRST ON FOX: Florida Gov.
Ron DeSantis revealed the new redistricted congressional map for the state, which shows the GOP gaining an extra four seats.
Should the
state legislature, which holds a Republican majority in both the state House and Senate, approve the redrawing, it would then return to DeSantis to be signed into law and would apply to the 2026 midterms.
"Florida got shortchanged in the 2020 Census, and we’ve been fighting for fair representation ever since," DeSantis told Fox News Digital. "Our population has since grown dramatically, and we have moved from a Democrat majority to a 1.5 million Republican advantage. Drawing maps based on race, which is reflected in our current congressional districts, is unconstitutional and should be prohibited.""Our new map for 2026 makes good on my promise to
conduct mid-decade redistricting, and it more fairly represents the makeup of Florida today," DeSantis added.
