“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) was heavily criticized last spring when he pushed Republican lawmakers to adopt congressional maps that were much more friendly to the GOP,” Politico reports.
“Republican lawmakers were initially reluctant to go along with the governor and GOP legislative leaders even punished rank-and-file members for siding with DeSantis. But Republicans in Florida and nationally are now praising the governor for strong-arming his own party to approve his congressional maps, which netted Florida Republicans four additional congressional seats on Election Day and essentially helped the GOP win the tiny House majority.”
