Missouri state House passes Trump-backed congressional map

Missouri Republicans advanced a Trump-backed map to gain a likely seventh House seat, intensifying the 2026 midterms fight with Democrats promising legal challenges.

  • Missouri's Republican-led House passed a congressional redistricting plan backed by President Donald Trump, aimed at enhancing Republican victories in the upcoming elections.
  • The new plan seeks to improve Republicans' chances of winning seven of the eight U.S. House seats in Missouri, one more than they currently hold.
  • The redistricting targets the Kansas City district held by Democratic U.S. Emanuel Cleaver, extending it into areas with more Republican voters and reducing the number of Black and minority voters.
  • Rep. Ray Reed criticized the plan, stating that Republicans are 'bending a knee to Donald Trump and pushing through these racist, gerrymandered districts.
