U.S. House 2026 Midterms

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he will call a special session in April 2026 to redraw the state’s congressional map, postponing action until a possible U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais on Voting Rights Act Section 2 that he says could affect “at least one or two” districts. The move — part of a national mid‑decade redistricting push that has so far advantaged Republicans (Florida currently holds 20 of 28 U.S. House seats) — drew criticism from Democrats, including Florida Senate Democratic Leader Lori Berman, who called it an illegal partisan redraw at odds with the 2010 Fair Districts amendment (approved by over 60% of voters) and a July 2025 Florida Supreme Court decision upholding the current map.
