The Missouri House has approved a redistricting plan aimed at increasing Republican influence in the state’s congressional delegation by potentially adding one more GOP-held seat. Sponsored by state Rep. Dirk deaton, the new map redraws districts, including targeting longtime Democratic Rep. Emanuel cleaver’s seat, which Democrats have reliably held. The proposal will next go to the Republican-controlled state Senate and then to Governor Mike kehoe for approval. This move is part of a broader national effort by Republicans to strengthen their position ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, countering Democratic redistricting efforts in other states. The plan has faced opposition from Democrats, including a lawsuit from the Missouri NAACP challenging the constitutionality of the special legislative session called<\/a> to pass the map. Some Republicans argue the redistricting corrects flaws in the 2020 census political district calculations. The measure has also received praise from former President Donald Trump as a way to boost MAGA depiction.
