“Republican legislative leaders in Florida have given up trying to draw new congressional boundaries that can win Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature and, in an unprecedented move, announced Monday that they intend to essentially cede this constitutional power to the executive branch,” CNN reports.
“Last month, DeSantis vetoed the new district boundaries approved by lawmakers — a rare public display of contention between the governor and a state legislature controlled entirely by his own party. DeSantis has demanded the legislature join his fight to eliminate two districts where Black residents are a plurality.”
