Ron DeSantis unveils new Florida congressional map that would give the GOP an extra four seats
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has proposed a new congressional map that aims to add four additional seats for the Republican Party in the U.S. House. This proposal will be debated in a special session of the Florida Legislature starting April 28, 2026. The map is designed to flip districts currently held by Democrats, including one in the Tampa area. The plan has been characterized as part of a broader national trend of redistricting efforts favoring Republicans, particularly following recent electoral changes in other states.
The proposed congressional map could significantly alter the balance of power in the U.S. House by potentially flipping four seats from Democratic to Republican control, as noted by multiple sources.
