Missouri Will Redraw Congressional Map

“After weeks of internal talks and a pressure campaign by President Donald Trump, Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe on Friday called lawmakers into a special session beginning next week to redraw the state’s congressional maps,” the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

“Missouri has eight U.S. House seats, two of which are held by Democrats. The task for Republicans is to change the partisan make-up of the Kansas City-focused 5th district, resulting in one additional GOP vote in the House for Trump’s policies.”
