Redistricting in Florida may help shape the composition of the U.S. House for at least the next decade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new map effectively targets seats held by Rep. Al Lawson (D-FL), Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL),Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), and potentially Rep. Val Demings (D-FL).<\/p>\n<p>The report added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>DeSantis has asserted for weeks that Lawson\u2019s current seat \u2014 which stretches from Jacksonville to just west of Tallahassee \u2014 runs afoul of recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions because it was drawn to guarantee the election of a Black candidate. The new map instead comes up with two new Jacksonville-centered districts that were won by former President Donald Trump.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The governor\u2019s map not only removes Lawson\u2019s district, but his proposal would also remake the Orlando-area central Florida seat now held by Rep.\u00a0Val Demings\u00a0so white voters would make up the largest portion of Democratic primary voters, according to analysis by Matthew Isbell, a Democratic data consultant.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Congressional experts noted that if DeSantis\u2019 map is successfully implemented, it would entirely wipe out all the redistricting wins that Democrats have secured thus far for the upcoming midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this 20R-8D FL map passes and withstands court challenges, it could net Republicans four additional seats, entirely wiping out Dems\u2019 national redistricting gains thus far,\u201d Dave Wasserman, who analyzes House races as a senior editor at The Cook Political Report, tweeted.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If this 20R-8D FL map passes and withstands court challenges, it could net Republicans four additional seats, entirely wiping out Dems&#8217; national redistricting gains thus far. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7MU6BaPrDM\">https:\/\/t.co\/7MU6BaPrDM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Redistrict\/status\/1514340729644109831?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 13, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt is appalling, but not surprising, that the Republican Legislature has abdicated its constitutional duty to draft and pass congressional maps to the governor,\u201d Manny Diaz, chair of the Florida Democratic Party, whined in a statement. \u201cAs proven by the proposed map released today, Gov. DeSantis is hell-bent on eliminating congressional seats where Florida\u2019s minority communities have the ability to elect representatives of their choice and he is imposing his own partisan political preferences on Florida\u2019s congressional map.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
