Kemp points to early voting already underway for the 2026 congressional primaries and argues that the Court\u2019s ruling is <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >lowering judicial interference<\/a> and restoring fairness. Still, he leaves open the possibility of new Georgia districts later in time for the 2028 election cycle, noting that Georgia must update its electoral maps to comply with the Callais ruling.<\/p>\n<p>Other states are acting more quickly.Louisiana is postponing its May 16 primary to allow new maps. Nearby Florida has already passed a new redistricting plan, which could increase Republican seats in the House.Alabama and Tennessee are also expected to redraw, with South Carolina listed as a possibility. The article also notes the political stakes in Georgia given Republicans\u2019 narrow House control and the state\u2019s current 9-4 delegation split in favor of Republicans.  <\/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><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling on Wednesday that struck down <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/less-than-24-hours-after-scotus-ruling-red-state-begins-redistricting-process-that-could-see-gop-supermajority\/\" title=\"Less Than 24 Hours After SCOTUS ..., Red State Begins Redistricting Process That Could See GOP Supermajority\">racially drawn congressional districts<\/a>, Republican legislatures in some states are acting quickly to come up with new maps before the November midterms.<\/p>\n<p>The swing state of Georgia won\u2019t be one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Georgia Gov.

Within hours of the court\u2019s decision on Wednesday, both its House and Senate approved a new map, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpbf.com\/article\/florida-house-passes-desantis-backed-redistricting-map\/71164649\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WPBF-TV<\/a> in West Palm Beach.<\/p>\n<p>The Sunshine State\u2019s new map could give Republicans four more seats in the U.S. House, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2026\/04\/29\/florida-legislature-redistricting-map-desantis-gop-00898457\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Politico<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In neighboring Georgia, Kemp explained his reluctance against redrawing the map by noting that early voting in the state congressional primaries has already begun. The early voting window is April 27 through May 15, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/georgia.gov\/events\/2026-04-27\/general-primary-early-voting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, Kemp praised the Callais decision, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, saying it \u201crestores fairness to our redistricting process and allows states to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/brian-kemp-rules-out-georgia-redistricting-before-midterm-elections\/\" title=\"... rules out Georgia redistricting before midterm elections\">pass electoral maps<\/a> that reflect the will of the voters, not the will of federal judges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also left the door open for a new congressional map to be drawn this year that would be in effect for 2028.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVoting is already underway for the 2026 elections,\u201d Kemp said, according to the newspaper. \u201cBut it\u2019s clear that Callais requires Georgia to adopt new electoral maps before the 2028 election cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Georgia\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-officially-adopts-new-congressional-lines-that-could-axe-half-the-gop-delegation\/\" title=\"New York Officially Adopts New Congressional Lines That Could Axe Half The GOP Delegation\">current congressional delegation<\/a> in the House consists of nine Republicans and four Democrats, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/United_States_congressional_delegations_from_Georgia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ballotpedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/politics\/narrow-house-majority-congress-dg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN noted<\/a> in a report last week, Republicans control the House by a 218-212 majority, with the help of one independent who caucuses with the GOP. That means a handful of seats changing hands in November could change control of the House for the rest of President Donald Trump\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n<p>Kemp\u2019s decision will likely represent another chapter in his occasionally fraught relationship with Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The two men soured on each other in the aftermath of the 2020 election, when Democrat Joe Biden won Georgia\u2019s Electoral College votes by a tiny margin and Trump cried foul. He got no support from Kemp\u2019s administration, though, and went so far as to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-calls-resignation-georgia-gov-brian-kemp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">demand Kemp resign<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When the rift between Trump and Kemp helped Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-media-outlets-declare-democrat-jon-ossoff-winner-crucial-georgia-senate-runoff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">win runoff races<\/a> for both the state\u2019s U.S. Senate seats in January 2021, it gave the party control of the U.S. Senate that it held for Biden\u2019s four years in office.<\/p>\n<p>In the 2024 election cycle, Kemp declined at first to support Trump\u2019s comeback bid, telling a reporter he cast a blank ballot in the state\u2019s presidential primary, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/10\/28\/nx-s1-5168017\/2024-election-georgia-donald-trump-brian-kemp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NPR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, he later supported Trump as the Republican nominee, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-ends-feud-swing-state-governor-he-slammed-disloyal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a> reported at the time, telling the network\u2019s star host Sean Hannity that \u201cwe got to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been saying consistently for a long time, we cannot afford another four years of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
