US EditionHow Missouri Democrats Could Block the GOP’s New Map
The Missouri Senate passed a redistricting map favoring Republicans and proposed stricter rules for constitutional amendments, with a referendum possible if 100,000 signatures are gathered.
- Missouri lawmakers passed a new congressional map on Friday aimed at adding one safe Republican seat and reshaping districts including Democrat Emanuel Cleaver's area.
- The redistricting followed a special session called by Gov. Mike Kehoe and intense pressure from President Trump, who urged GOP senators to approve the plan.
- The map splits up Kansas City's 5th district, long held by Cleaver, making it more Republican-leaning while bolstering the 2nd district represented by Republican Ann Wagner.
- Senators passed the plan 21-11 after Republicans shut down debate, and Rep. Bob Onder called it 'a great day for Missouri' while Democrats labeled the map 'rigged' and planned legal challenges.
- A group named People Not Politicians announced it will gather over 100,000 signatures to force a statewide vote that could prevent the new map from taking effect without voter approval.
