US EditionMissouri Senate passes Trump-backed plan that could help Republicans win an additional US House seat
- On Friday, Missouri Republicans passed a redistricting plan during a special session called by Governor Mike Kehoe in Jefferson City.
- The plan aims to increase Republican representation by potentially adding one U.S. House seat amid a national midterm battle for partisan advantage.
- The revised map reshapes Democratic U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's district by cutting parts of Kansas City's area and extending it into Republican rural zones.
- Cleaver said the plan reduces Black and minority residents and cited a dividing street as a "historical segregation line" between Black and white communities.
- Opponents filed a referendum petition that could trigger a statewide vote on the map, while Governor Kehoe is expected to sign it into law, marking a political win for Republicans aligned with Trump.
