Ron DeSantis unveiled a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-senate-passes-gop-redistricting-maps-sending-to-abbott-for-final-approval\/\" title=\"... Senate passes GOP redistricting ...s, sending to Abbott for final approval\">congressional redistricting map aimed<\/a> at taking the state from a Republican-held 20 of 28 House seats too potentially 24 if the plan is approved. DeSantis argues florida was \u201cshortchanged\u201d in the 2020 census and that updated population growth has shifted political advantage, adding that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/louisiana-asks-scotus-to-end-race-based-redistricting\/\" title=\"Louisiana Asks SCOTUS To End Race-Based Redistricting\">drawing districts based<\/a> on race-as reflected in current districts-is unconstitutional.  <\/p>\n<p>The article says Democrats, citing the expected partisan tilt of the new districts, have criticized the proposal. House minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries warned Florida Republicans against pursuing what he called a \u201cdummymander,\u201d comparing their potential outcome to Texas and referencing Democrats\u2019 expectations for seat gains under different redistricting plans, including California. DeSantis responds that Jeffries should come campaign in Florida, with the governor joking he would host him at the governor\u2019s mansion.  <\/p>\n<p>It also references broader redistricting developments: the U.S. Supreme Court is reported to have allowed Texas\u2019s new map to proceed, which the article claims could add five Republican seats after the 2026 midterms. The piece notes a related situation in Virginia where a redistricting outcome was contested in court, while it mentions additional political claims about possible Census miscalculations affecting seat allocation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Florida Gov.
