With the Florida legislature set to convene next week, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced Wednesday that he will call a special session on redistricting in April, adding the Sunshine State to the list of places where Republicans aim to give themselves an electoral advantage in the 2026 midterm elections.

Florida’s congressional delegation is currently made up of 20 Republicans and eight Democrats.

State lawmakers were expected to take up redistricting earlier, during their scheduled session in January.

DeSantis said the delay would “allow the Legislature to first focus on the pressing issues facing Floridians before devoting its full attention to congressional redistricting in April.”

In a social media post, DeSantis said the redistricting session would “ensure that Florida’s congressional maps accurately reflect the population of our state.”

Florida becomes the latest GOP-led state to join the nationwide redistricting battle after Gov. DeSantis announced plans to call a special session on redistricting in April. The governor said the move would “ensure Florida’s maps accurately reflect the population.” https://bit.ly/4ps6N48
