Supreme Court Blocks Missouri GOP Map Ahead of Midterm Ballots
The justices said Missouri must wait as challengers argue the GOP-drawn map could disenfranchise voters and alter House control.
- On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked Missouri from using a redrawn congressional map favored by Republicans, dealing a setback to President Donald Trump's efforts to maintain his party's slim House majority.
- Enacted in 2025, the map was part of a nationwide redistricting push backed by Trump that aimed to eliminate one of two Democratic-held seats, currently held by Democratic Representative Emanuel Cleaver.
- Tuesday's order from Chief U.S. District Judge Stephen Clark required the state to use the new map, conflicting with the Missouri Supreme Court's September 3 ruling that blocked it.
- Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins faces a contempt hearing Thursday for defying the state court's ruling, with ballots set for distribution September 19 creating urgent electoral deadlines.
- The 2022 map, featuring six Republican-held seats and two Democratic-held seats, will now govern November's election, though the contempt question remains unresolved and voters will decide Proposition A on the ballot.
